Maruti Suzuki India Ltd announced that it has crossed the 25 lakh units milestone of cumulative exports since starting overseas shipments. The company started exporting vehicles in FY1986-87. The first big consignment of 500 cars was shipped to Hungary in September 1987.

Currently, the carmaker exports 17 models, including the recently launched Grand Vitara, to nearly 100 countries across Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East.

Commenting on this development, Maruti Suzuki India Managing Director & CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said “The landmark export of 2.5 million vehicles stands as a testimony to India's manufacturing prowess. 

This feat demonstrates Maruti Suzuki's resolute commitment to the Government of India's flagship Make-in-India initiative and furthering the government's efforts to enhance vehicle exports."
