Mahindra recorded sales of 64,092 SUVs in September. This result is 13.98 percent higher than the 56,233 units sold in September 2025. For the July-September quarter, the company sold 183,397 passenger vehicles, marking a 26.04 percent increase over the 145,503 units sold during the same period in 2025. The SUV lineup, including the Thar, Scorpio N, Bolero, XUV 3XO, and XUV 7XO, contributed to these results. Electric models such as the XEV 9e, BE 6, and XEV 9S also supported the company's growth.
Mahindra holds a 22.2 percent market share in the Indian EV market, with 7,782 EVs registered in September. Commercial vehicle segments also showed positive momentum.

The company sold 30,420 four-wheeled commercial vehicles in September.
MG Motor also made significant strides, securing a 15 percent market share with 5,242 EVs registered in September. Strong demand for SUVs and electric models remains the primary driver for both manufacturers.
The Indian EV market's rapid growth is further evidenced by the increasing presence of brands like MG and VinFast, making the market more competitive. The expansion of production capacity and the introduction of new models are expected to accelerate this growth trend, potentially impacting the Nepalese EV market as well.
