Maruti Suzuki Ltd - Strong Domestic Recovery Drives Growth Strong Domestic Momentum with Supply Constraints: Domestic demand remained strong in Q4FY26, supported by the GST reduction-led recovery in the second half, driving record total sales of 24,22,713 units (+8.4% YoY), with domestic volumes at 19,74,939 units (+3.9% YoY) and exports at 4,47,774 units (+34.6% YoY). Growth was led by improved traction in the small car segment and rising first-time buyer participation. However, volumes were partly constrained by production capacity limitations, reflected in a strong pending order book of 1,90,000 units (including 1,30,000 units in small cars), while dealer inventory remained lean at ~12 days, indicating healthy retail demand and tight supply conditions.
