Mahindra has also registered the highest ever quarterly sales of 1,79,673 vehicles with a growth of 77 per cent over last year. Veejay Nakra, president of Mahindra's automotive divison said of this development,"September was a very exciting month with a strong start to the festive season. We continue to see very strong demand and performance across our portfolio of products, from SUVs, LCV's less than 3.5 tons and our last mile mobility brands. We are delighted that our SUVs have registered the highest ever sales of 34,262 vehicles as well as highest ever overall volumes of 64,486 vehicles for the month of September."

Mahindra's two blockbuster launches, the XUV700 last year and the Scorpio-N this year have been the drivers behind this significant sales uptick. Deliveries for the Scorpio-N have already begun of the over 1 lakh bookings but waiting periods still stretch to well over a year. The XUV700 continues to draw in large numbers and has seen a reduction in wait times despite the supply contraints still plaguing the industry.
