AlwaysFirst Exclusive — Indian automotive giant Mahindra & Mahindra has slammed the accelerator on its growth trajectory, posting a record-breaking performance in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment for the month of September 2025. The company announced its highest-ever monthly SUV sales, a feat that has propelled its overall domestic passenger vehicle sales across a significant threshold.

According to the official sales data, Mahindra dispatched over 43,000 SUV units to dealers in September alone. This figure marks a substantial year-on-year increase and solidifies the brand’s iron grip on the utility vehicle market. The relentless demand for its “SUVs of Mahindra” portfolio has been the central pillar of this success story.

This SUV dominance was the key driver in helping the automaker cross the coveted 1 lakh unit mark in total domestic passenger vehicle sales for the second quarter. This milestone underscores a powerful and sustained consumer preference for Mahindra’s rugged and feature-packed vehicle lineup in a highly competitive market.

Industry analysts point to the sustained popularity of models like the XUV700, Scorpio-N, and the perennial favorite Thar as the primary engines behind this sales explosion. Despite managing significant waiting periods for some of these models, the company has successfully ramped up production to meet the unyielding market appetite.

A company spokesperson attributed this historic performance to a robust product strategy and strong consumer confidence. With the festive season in full swing, this record-setting sales figure positions Mahindra with formidable momentum, setting the stage for a potentially blockbuster quarter ahead. The automotive sector will be watching closely to see if this momentum can be sustained in the coming months.
