Nice numbers, but I hope they are also focusing on electric vehicles. The 53% surge in three-wheeler sales, including electric, is encouraging. It's good that Mahindra is embracing the EV transition, especially for last-mile connectivity. But let's see more EVs in the SUV segment too.
A 40% jump in LCV under 2 tonnes is a solid indicator of rural and small business demand. This shows the economy is picking up at the grassroots level. Good news for the Indian market overall!
Impressive performance! But as a consumer, I've noticed Mahindra's after-sales service can be inconsistent in some regions. While the sales numbers are great, they need to scale up their service network proportionally, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, to keep customers happy in the long run.
The 69% YTD growth in three-wheelers is remarkable! With the electric models contributing, this is a big signal that India's commercial mobility is getting cleaner. Mahindra is really leading the charge here. Wouldn't be surprised if they become the top EV player in this segment soon. 🚚⚡
Happy to see Indian auto giants performing well. But I wish they'd bring some more affordable compact SUVs, especially for first-time buyers. While the numbers are great, a lot of young people like me are still priced out of the SUV dream. Maybe focus a bit on the entry-level segment too?
