Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the country’s leading car manufacturer, has continued its impressive performance in the Indian automotive market. August 2023 saw a significant surge in car sales compared to the same month in the previous year, showcasing Maruti’s dominance in the industry.

In August 2022, Maruti had reported sales of 134,166 units. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the brand’s reputation for quality, a wide range of offerings, and robust market demand.

Brezza, Dzire, and Ertiga recorded 14,572, 13,293, and 12,315 units respectively, each contributing to the impressive year-on-year growth.
