Maruti Suzuki is currently dealing with a large order backlog of nearly 2,00,000 vehicles as of April 2026, highlighting a situation where demand is strong but supply remains limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the company is not struggling to attract buyers; instead, it is unable to produce<\/a> vehicles quickly enough, which has reduced dealer stock levels to roughly one week\u2014far below the typical 30-day benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maruti Suzuki Faces Supply Crunch Amid Strong Demand and Low Inventory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address this gap, the automaker has begun executing a phased production expansion strategy aimed at significantly boosting output capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first step, its facility in Kharkhoda will add a second assembly line starting April 2026, increasing annual production by 2,50,000 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, at its Gujarat operations, the Hansalpur plant will introduce a fourth production line by the second quarter of FY27 (around July 2026), contributing another 2,50,000 units per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these expansions are expected to raise total capacity substantially in the near term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking further ahead, the company plans to scale its annual output to nearly 40 lakh units, supported by a proposed fifth manufacturing site at Khoraj Industrial Estate in Sanand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the surge in pending orders is largely being driven by continued demand for compact passenger cars as well as the rising popularity of utility vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GST Cut Drives Small Car Boom as Maruti\u2019s Top Models Cross Production Milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One major factor behind this trend is the reduction in GST on small cars\u2014from 28% to 18%\u2014which has made them more affordable and pushed their share to nearly 70% of total sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, several high-demand models such as the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, and Maruti Suzuki Dzire have each surpassed 2,00,000 units in production during FY26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, increased demand has also led to longer waiting periods for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, some entry-level cars had waiting times of about one month earlier in 2026, but this has stretched further for certain segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, popular SUVs like the new Victoris have seen delivery timelines extend up to 10 weeks due to overwhelming demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the company is advancing its transition toward electric mobility with the upcoming e-Vitara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this shift is not without challenges, as more than half of the vehicle\u2019s battery components are imported, which affects eligibility for government incentive schemes tied to domestic sourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
