Synopsis

Mahindra & Mahindra reported a significant 22% surge in SUV sales to dealers last month, a boost attributed to recent tax reductions on larger engine vehicles. This positive trend, with around 80% of their SUVs falling into the taxed category, highlights the impact of government measures to stimulate the automotive market. Other major players are yet to release their figures.

Around 80% of Mahindra's SUVs have engines over 1500 cc.

Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra said on Monday sales of its sports utility vehicles (SUV) to dealers rose 22% in November from a year earlier, driven by continued demand boost from tax cuts.

In September, India cut the goods and services tax on SUVs with engines over 1500 cc capacity to 40% from about 50%, aiming to spur consumer spending and bolster growth amid challenges from steep U.S. tariffs.
