Maruti Suzuki Faces Vehicle Shortage Ahead of Festive Season, Supply to Improve in 2027
Maruti Suzuki is entering the festive season with strong sales growth and a market share increase to 41.66%, despite facing a vehicle shortage with 1.8 lakh pending bookings and only 15-16 days of stock. The company attributes supply constraints to its new highly automated plants, which need time to reach full capacity. Maruti Suzuki expects improved supplies from January 2027 and aims to grow faster than the overall passenger vehicle industry in FY27, depending on production ramp-up.
