Maruti Suzuki Valued More Than General Motors, Ford & Volkswagen, Positioning Itself As One Of World’s Top 10 Automakers
Maruti Suzuki surpassed global automotive giants Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen in market capitalisation, achieving a significant milestone. The company has now crossed USD 57.6 billion in market value, positioning itself as one of the world’s top ten automakers. Remarkably, Maruti Suzuki also overtook its parent company, Suzuki, in overall market cap.
Favourable tax reforms and the recent GST reset have driven the rally in Maruti Suzuki’s shares. Maruti gained substantial advantages from lower levies as compact and entry-level cars form over 60% of its sales. This boost significantly increased investor confidence and improved its stock performance.
Between August 14 and September 25, Maruti’s stock surged from Rs. 12,936 to Rs. 16,236, reflecting a 25.5% rise. In comparison, the broader Nifty Auto index rose only 11% during the same period. Maruti clearly outperformed its sector peers in market momentum.
Foreign portfolio investors have also increased exposure to Indian auto stocks, and Maruti has emerged as a primary beneficiary of this trend. Its strong market leadership, expansive dealership network, and unmatched customer loyalty further reinforce its dominance. These factors collectively contribute to the company’s rising global stature.
However, challenges remain as global automakers aggressively invest in electric vehicles, autonomous technologies, and stricter emission compliance. To sustain its high valuation, Maruti must adapt quickly to these transformative industry shifts. Expanding its international presence will also be crucial for long-term competitiveness.
Outlook
The company’s dominance highlights its resilience, strategic execution, and alignment with policy tailwinds. Yet, maintaining this leadership will demand continued innovation and global adaptation.
