Maruti Suzuki’s all-electric eVitara SUV has become a symbol of India’s growing EV export strength by crossing a key milestone in a remarkably short span. As the company continues to position itself in the global electric mobility sector, its Hansalpur plant in Gujarat has become the focal point for this global push.
Rapid Export Growth in Two Months
Within just August and September 2025, Maruti Suzuki exported over 6,000 eVitara SUVs to international markets, putting the brand at the center of India’s “Make in India for the World” drive.
- The very first batch, comprising approximately 2,900 units, was dispatched to the UK and a dozen European countries including Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
- Successive shipments expanded to other parts of Europe, and initial units are also headed toward Africa and Asia.
This swift volume not only demonstrates overseas demand for Indian EVs, but also underscores Hansalpur’s logistics advantage with streamlined port connectivity.
What Makes the eVitara Stand Out?
The eVitara’s international appeal is built on three key pillars: variety, reliability, and technology.
- Available in multiple configurations, the SUV comes as a single-motor base model (49 kWh battery, 142 BHP), an extended-range version (61 kWh battery, 172 BHP), and a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive top variant (61 kWh, 178 BHP, 300 Nm torque).
- Buyers abroad are drawn to its fast-charging capability, high crash safety standards, connected infotainment, and cool, contemporary interiors.
Positioning India on the Global EV Stage
India’s robust manufacturing ecosystem is now yielding real results beyond domestic EV adoption. Maruti Suzuki’s export numbers highlight:
- The evolving technical prowess of Indian plants
- India’s ability to deliver competitively priced electric SUVs—appealing for value-driven European, African, and Asian buyers
- Increasing preference for Indian EVs as global emissions norms tighten.
What’s Next for eVitara?
With strong international interest, Maruti Suzuki is ramping up production for new markets and is expected to launch the eVitara domestically by early 2026. The current global success sets a benchmark for both the brand and India, proving that Indian companies are ready to write the next chapter of affordable, high-quality electric mobility for the world. This export achievement delivers not just numbers, but also a clear vote of global confidence in Indian-built EV technology.
