Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) said its exports grew 28 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to 2,63,068 units in 2022, its highest ever overseas shipments.

The previous record was in 2021, when the company dispatched 2,05,450 vehicles overseas.

The company exports 16 models. In 2022, the highest exported models were Dzire, Swift, S-Presso, Baleno and Brezza. Maruti Suzuki vehicles were popular among customers in Africa, West Asia, Latin America, ASEAN and neighbouring regions, the company said.

Jimny SUV
MSIL also exports Suzuki’s Jimny SUV, which it started manufacturing in India and exporting from January 2021. According to sources, the company has exported 29,316 units of Jimny cumulatively since then. “In 2021-22, 18,486 units were exported and in 2022-23 (till December), 9,195 units were exported,” the sources told businessline.

MSIL, which started exports in 1986-87 with the first consignment to Hungary, today exports to around 100 countries.

“Crossing the two-lakh milestone in exports for the second consecutive year signifies the trust, quality, reliability, performance, and affordability of our products. This achievement further aligns with our strong commitment to the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative to manufacture products to delight global customers,” Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, MSIL, said.

Interestingly, in 2022, the company exported more than double the volume it exported in pre-Covid year (2019) . In 2019, MSIL exported 1,07,190 units, but in 2020 its exports had declined to 85,208 units due to the pandemic and supply chain constraints. MSIL’s exports in 2018 were at 1,13,824 units.

“We are thankful for the support from our parent company Suzuki Motor Corporation to enable us to leverage a wider distribution network across the globe. Further, adding more models to our portfolio helped sustain excitement in the export markets,” Takeuchi added

No doubt about that but if electric revolution really happens, Sujuki will be history, they don't have any leg in the game.

Jimny 3/5 doors SUV, not launched in India yet.

A car is anyday better than a motorbike in India. Just using a bike in India increases your chance of getting killed in an accident by a significant percentage.

So I'd rather see people drive a tin can alto over a Harley if it means lesser deaths.

Indian operations to play key role in Skoda Auto's entry into Vietnam

Chennai: India is emerging as a key manufacturing hub for the Skoda Group that will venture into the Vietnamese market, the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Ltd said on Wednesday.

"India will play a key role in Skoda Auto's entry into the Vietnamese market. Assembly of the Made-in-India Skoda Kushaq and Slavia model will begin in Vietnam in 2024," the company said on Wednesday.

Close to 25 per cent of suppliers now also export to the Group globally. Exports remain a fundamental pillar of growth. The Group exports to 44 markets globally from India, the company said.

The Skoda Auto Volkswagen was formed following the merger of Volkswagen India Private Limited, Skoda Auto India Private Ltd and Volkswagen Group Sales India Private Limited.

The combined entity oversees the Indian operations of five brands -- Skoda Auto, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini.

According to Skoda Auto Volkswagen the year 2022 that went by turned out to be good as the company had sold 101,270 units while exports accounted for 33,397 units.

Sales were up 86 per cent year-on-year as compared to 2021.

Continuing with its aggressive product offensive, the Group introduced over 20 model updates through the year across its five brands.

"Our Made-in-India models are rapidly gaining popularity and universal recognition, for their world-class quality, robustness and stylish designs, and have opened new customer segments and markets for us. India is one of the key markets for the Group and will continue to contribute strongly to our global operations," Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO said

‘Two ports in Chennai shipped 3.64 lakh vehicles in 2022'

With the present numbers, the car export volumes from ChPT had crossed the 2,00,000 mark once again, while that of KPL declined from a similar level on account of COVID-19, said a leading logistics provider

The two major ports in Chennai collectively facilitated the export of almost 3.64 lakh vehicles to various countries during the calendar year (CY) 2022, recording an increase of 26% year-on-year.

While Chennai Port Trust (ChPT) exported 2.23 lakh cars, mostly those made by Hyundai Motor India, against 1.65 lakh units in CY21, Kamarajar Port Ltd. (KPL) shipped 1.41 lakh vehicles (1.25 lakh).

With the present numbers, the car export volumes from ChPT had crossed the 2,00,000 mark once again, while that of KPL declined from a similar level on account of COVID-19, said a leading logistics provider.

“There has been an increase in car exports from Chennai Port. Some of the automobile firms have signed long-term contracts with us and some are coming up for renewals,” said Sunil Paliwal, chairman, ChPT and CMD of KPL in an interview.

He also said that recently Maruti Suzuki had entered into a pact with KPL to export about 20,000 passenger vehicles annually to various destinations such as Africa, Middle East, Latin America, ASEAN and SAARC regions.

During the year, Nissan and Renault exported 81,000 vehicles from KPL, followed by Ford India 28,400, Isuzu Motors 17,400, Daimler India 5,800, Toyota Kirloskar 105 and others 8,000 units.

In the case of ChPT, Hyundai Motor has a long-term contract and exported about 1,45,300 vehicles followed by Kia Motors India 76,910 and Ford India 555 unit.

Till a few years back, there was stiff competition between ChPT and KPL in terms of exports and the latter had an upper hand. But things changed after the acquisition of KPL by ChPT and due to COVID. Both the ports are now headed by the same IAS officer.

From January to December, 47 Roll-on Roll-off (RORO) vessels visited ChPT. In the month of December, it handled as many as 26,000 cars.
