In late January 2026, India and the European Union agreed on a trade deal that will cut tariffs on EU-made cars imported into India to 40%, opening the door wider for European automakers in one of the world’s largest car markets.
This shift puts fresh attention on Suzuki’s position through Maruti Suzuki in India, where its compact, affordable cars currently lead a market that may now see more competition from higher-priced European brands.
Against this backdrop, we’ll examine how the planned tariff reduction on EU-made cars could influence Suzuki’s investment narrative in India.What Is Suzuki Motor’s Investment Narrative?
For Suzuki, you really have to believe in the durability of its small-car franchise in India and Asia, steady (rather than explosive) growth, and a disciplined balance between reinvestment and dividends. Consensus expects moderate revenue and earnings growth with a reliable, modest yield, and the recent dividend increases suggest management is comfortable with that trajectory for now. The India EU trade deal adds a new wrinkle: European brands could become more visible in segments above Suzuki’s core, but the immediate impact on its value-driven sweet spot looks limited, which helps explain why recent share price weakness seems more sentiment driven than a fundamental reset. Short term, catalysts still cluster around upcoming earnings, any refresh of India-focused product plans, and how management addresses governance and board turnover concerns.
