Since most of the sales for Suzuki are from legacy vehicles (last launch being S-Presso in late 2019) , it seems Suzuki is making a neat profit from these vehicles.

The operating profit for the quarter was at ₹1484.8 crore, a growth of 19.3% over the same period previous year "on account of higher sales volume and cost reduction efforts partially offset by increase in commodity prices and adverse foreign exchange movement

Maruti chalks out plans to defend its market share.

Five reasons why Maruti Suzuki will continue to rule Indian roads:

1) New model pipeline for next 5 years. (Only Koreans have more)
2) Focusing on CNG, hybrid & EV tech
3) will bring diesel back
4) Synergies with Toyota
5) no other OEM knows it’s customers better

It is commendable that Maruti, who has the best service spread in India at the moment, is still working to improve on that aspec. I have been a first hand victim of lack of proper global OEM dealerships where you are forced to run hunting for a proper service center in the nearest towns if you live in a rural setting.

On the electrification side however, we have received nothing but lip service from Maruti. The reports of WagonR EV program getting cancelled and statements from Maruti chairman about electrification needing few years to gain prominence, show that Maruti is not willing to walk the talk on electrification. Very sad state of affairs for the consumers.

With new companies coming in, Maruti certainly has reached a peak in terms of market share?

In villages and lower income groups, its not just Hyundai that is challenging it. Renault comes up with great vehicles and sells at correct price. Take example of Kwid, or Triber. Its just a matter of time that they win trust of large section of Indians and increase production. I remember there used to be huge waiting time when they launched Kwid and many people bought Alto or WagonR just because they wanted the vehicle quickly. They have also made their vehicles available in CSD.

There is already too much competition in compact sedans, sedans, and SUVs..

Further, more an more people are now purchasing luxury cars. And no one in this section buys a Maruti ! But will buy an Audi, Merc, jaguar, even MG
