Accordingly, Maruti Suzuki commenced export of vehicles in FY1986-87.

The company's first large consignment of 500 cars was shipped to Hungary in September 1987.

In FY2012-13, the Company achieved the milestone of one-million exports.

"In the first million, more than 50 per cent of exports were undertaken to developed markets in Europe," the company said in a statement.

Currently, we export 14 models, nearly 150 variants, to over 100 countries.
