Maruti Suzuki aims to become India’s largest SUV maker through expanded Brezza, Grand Vitara and e Vitara offerings, brand repositioning and multi-powertrain options. SUV demand has pushed factories beyond 100% utilisation, making production capacity the key near-term growth constraint.

Why this matters

The SUV push follows Maruti Suzuki's recent FY27 target of 9 lakh CNG vehicle sales, signalling a broader multi-powertrain growth strategy while production capacity becomes the nearer constraint.
