Maruti Suzuki Fronx: A global success
Maruti Suzuki Fronx is one of the biggest drivers behind the automaker’s escalation of exports in recent years. In FY2026, Maruti shipped 4,47,774 units from India to global markets.

Alongside the Fronx, the Jimny and e Vitara are some of Maruti’s biggest exports.
Speaking on the milestone, Mr 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.”
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.”
