In this article, we will take a look at the figures of Mahindra’s automotive sector vehicle sales and farm equipment sector tractor sales which are presented on a trailing 12-month (TTM) basis.

Let’s take a look!

Automotive Sector

Mahindra’s automotive sector

Mahindra’s automotive sector sales are divided into 2 major categories and they are domestic and export sales as shown in the diagram above.

Domestic vehicle sales are further broken down into commercial and passenger vehicles.

As of 2Q FY22, Mahindra’s total vehicle sales clocked 420,000 units, which represents a 20% year-on-year growth.

On a year-over-year basis, Mahindra’s commercial vehicle sales grew 0% in 2Q FY22 and clocked 190,000 units in both quarters in FY21 and FY22, thereby leading to a 0% growth rate.

In contrast, Mahindra’s passenger segment grew to 200,000 units on a TTM basis as of 2Q FY22 compared to only 130,000 units reported a year ago, representing a year-on-year growth rate of nearly 50%.
