Maruti Suzuki becomes world's 8th most valuable carmaker, beats Ford
Big moment for India: Maruti Suzuki is now the 8th most valuable car company on the planet, hitting a market cap of $57.6 billion as of late September 2025.
That means it's worth more than Ford, GM, Volkswagen—and even its own parent, Suzuki Motor Corporation.
Only giants like Tesla, Toyota, BYD, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Honda are ahead.
Maruti's focus on small cars drives its success
Maruti's secret sauce? Affordable, fuel-efficient small cars—over 60% of their sales come from these models.
The recent GST reform in India gave them another boost by making cars more attractive to buyers and investors alike.
During Navratri alone, they sold 75,000 cars with daily inquiries hitting a record high—almost double the usual numbers—so it's no wonder wait times are up for their hottest models.
Business win for India
It's not every day an Indian brand beats global legends at their own game.
If you're into business wins or just love seeing homegrown companies make waves worldwide, this one's worth a scroll.
