Maruti Suzuki FRONX Exports Cross 2 Lakh in 38 Months

FRONX Reaches Two Lakh Export Milestone

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced that Maruti Suzuki FRONX exports have crossed the 2 lakh mark in under 38 months, making the SUV the fastest from India to achieve the milestone, according to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) data. Export shipments began in June 2023, with the first lakh completed in under 25 months and the second lakh added in around 13 months. The faster pace of the second lakh highlights increasing international demand for the model and strengthens its position within India's passenger-vehicle export portfolio.

Global Reach Expands From Gujarat

The FRONX is manufactured at Maruti Suzuki's Hansalpur facility in Gujarat and is exported to nearly 90 countries, including Japan. Its expanding international footprint has made the SUV an important contributor to the company's export performance. Maruti Suzuki said its wider export operations now cover 17 models and nearly 120 countries, demonstrating the scale of its overseas distribution network. The latest milestone shows how a vehicle manufactured in India is gaining demand across multiple international markets while contributing to the country's broader passenger-vehicle export performance.

Management Highlights Accelerating Export Demand

Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, "Every vehicle exported by Maruti Suzuki carries the hard work and pride of our people. Together, these vehicles take a piece of Indian manufacturing to nearly 120 countries. FRONX has been a key contributor to Maruti Suzuki's success in exports. Since FY 24-25, it has been India's No. 1 exported passenger vehicle and is now shipped to nearly 90 countries. After crossing the milestone of 1 lakh exports in record time, FRONX reached its second lakh significantly faster, underlining its growing demand in the international markets."

Export Leadership Supports Make in India Strategy

The company said its export performance supports the broader Make in India, Make for the World strategy and demonstrates the strength of India's manufacturing ecosystem. Maruti Suzuki has been India's No. 1 passenger vehicle exporter for five consecutive years, as per SIAM data. Sustained international shipments have strengthened the company's position in passenger-vehicle exports, while growing year-on-year volumes indicate continued demand for its products across global markets. The FRONX milestone therefore adds to Maruti Suzuki's broader export-led manufacturing strategy and reinforces the role of Indian production facilities in serving international customers.

Top Export Models in Q1 FY26-27

He added, "Aligned with 'Make in India, Make for the World', Maruti Suzuki continues to showcase the prowess of India's manufacturing ecosystem. Sustained focus on exports has earned the Company the number one position in passenger vehicle exports from India. Illustrating this leadership, all three of India's top exported passenger vehicles in Q1 FY 26-27 were from Maruti Suzuki. The growing export volumes year-on-year are a strong endorsement of the reliability and appeal of the Company's products across global markets."

For Q1 FY26-27, Maruti Suzuki's top exported models were FRONX, Jimny 5-Door, e VITARA, Dzire and Baleno, giving the company a share of more than 55% in India's passenger vehicle exports during the quarter. The mix includes SUVs, an electric vehicle, compact cars and a sedan, reflecting the breadth of the company's international product portfolio. FRONX's position among the leading exported models, combined with its rapid accumulation of shipments, highlights its growing importance to Maruti Suzuki's overseas business and India's expanding role in global passenger-vehicle manufacturing.
