Commenting on the Trucks and Buses business, Vinod Sahay, Executive Chairman – SML, President – Aerospace, Advanced Technologies, Trucks, Buses & CE, M&M, said the segment continues to benefit from higher infrastructure spending, rising freight demand and replacement demand.

However, he noted that the business continues to face challenges from rising input and fuel costs. He also pointed out that August 2025 volumes were muted ahead of anticipated GST changes, meaning the year-on-year growth in August 2026 also reflects a lower base.

Mahindra Looks Ahead to Festive Season

Mahindra enters the upcoming festive season with strong momentum across SUVs, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, exports and its Trucks and Buses business.

The company’s 50% growth in domestic SUV sales, combined with strong demand for models such as the updated Scorpio-N and BE 6 SPORTEQ, will be closely watched as the Indian automotive industry enters one of its most important sales periods of the year.
