Mahindra or M&M Limited is one of the biggest automakers in India.

Some of the firm’s largest rivals include Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki.

While Mahindra is publicly traded on the BSE and NSE, it is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mahindra Group.

Mahindra is particularly well-known for its commercial vehicles and tractors in India.

In addition, Mahindra has also been gaining ground in the passenger vehicle market, especially in the utility vehicle market.

All told, in this article, we will look specifically at Mahindra’s market share in the domestic market of India.

Aside from the total market share, we also will look at the market share breakdown by segment, including the commercial and passenger vehicle segment.

Since Mahindra also has sizable tractor sales in India, the market share of the firm’s farm equipment sector will also be looked upon in this article.
