India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki on Saturday announced that it recorded its highest-ever total sales of 1,966,164 units for FY23. This was on back of record exports of 259,333 units.
Maruti Suzuki further added that it sold 170,071 passenger vehicles (PVs) in March 2023, 324 units less than the same period a year ago.
According to the carmaker, the shortage of electronic components had some impact on the production of vehicles in FY23.
The homegrown company, in a statement, said its total sales in March 2023 included domestic sales of 136,787 units, sales to other original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of 3,165 units and its highest-ever monthly exports of 30,119 units.
