Commenting on the performance, Vinod Sahay, Executive Chairman – SML and President – Aerospace, Advanced Technologies, Trucks, Buses & CE, M&M, said that despite cost headwinds, the truck and bus industry continues to benefit from infrastructure investments, rising freight demand and an accelerating fleet replacement cycle.
Mahindra Heads Into Festive Season On Strong Footing
Mahindra’s July numbers indicate that demand remains healthy across almost every business vertical. SUVs continue to anchor the company’s growth, consistently staying above the 60,000-unit mark, while commercial vehicles, three-wheelers and exports are also delivering robust gains. Improving rural sentiment has further boosted tractor sales, and the trucks & buses business is benefiting from higher infrastructure activity.
With the updated Scorpio N expected to debut later this month and festive demand around the corner, Mahindra appears well positioned to maintain this growth momentum in the coming months.
