Maruti Suzuki hatchback sales jump 41% in H1 FY2026-27
Maruti Suzuki's hatchbacks are having a moment, with sales jumping 41% in the first half of FY2026-27.
This big boost comes after GST rates were cut in September 2025, making small cars more affordable.
Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer, marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki, shared that this isn't just a fluke, it's part of an ongoing trend.
