Maruti Suzuki's shares fell 4% on September 1, making it the top loser in the Nifty 50 index, after the company reported a 9.2% month-on-month decline in August sales, totaling 219,220 units. This decline follows a record sales figure of 241,421 units in July 2026.1235
Despite a 21.3% year-on-year increase in sales, the automaker's performance was impacted by a 10% sequential decline. The company sold 85,965 passenger cars in August, compared to 103,456 in July and 66,450 in August 2025. The domestic passenger vehicle market saw a 36% year-on-year growth, reaching approximately 450,000 units in August 2026, aided by a low base from the previous year.
Maruti Suzuki's Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Partho Banerjee, noted that the favorable environment is expected to continue into the festive season, although growth rates may moderate in the second half of FY27 due to a high base effect. The company anticipates a 10% growth in the domestic passenger vehicle industry for FY27, up from an earlier forecast of 4%-6%.
In contrast, competitors like Tata Motors and Hyundai reported significant sales increases, with Tata Motors achieving a 56% year-on-year growth and Hyundai's domestic sales rising 23.6% year-on-year.
“The decline follows a record July, with total sales dropping to 2,19,220 units from 2,41,421 units. Despite the MoM fall, sales rose 21.3% YoY, aided by a low base from last year's GST cut impact.”
