SUVs and Exports Fuel 42% Sales Jump
Mahindra's August sales growth was powered by utility vehicles, which delivered 61,167 total units including exports—a 50% domestic jump, TipRanks stated. The company cited strong demand for the updated Scorpio-N and the new BE 6 SPORTEQ electric SUV as key drivers. New model launches are fueling buyer interest ahead of the festive buying season.
