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 progress 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 based on segments which include the commercial and passenger vehicle segments.

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

That said, let’s head out to see the numbers!

M&M’s domestic market share is defined as the company’s total sales divided by the total industry volume.

That said, according to the chart above, Mahindra’s total market share in India has greatly improved in post-pandemic periods.

As seen, Mahindra’s total market share in India has increased from 9.4% in FY21 to as much as 12.6% as of FY23.

Prior to FY21, Mahindra’s domestic market share averaged only 11% and this figure dropped considerably in FY21, due largely to the disruption triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In FY23, Mahindra sold 666,349 vehicles compared to 423,143 vehicles registered in FY22 in the domestic market of India, up 54% year on year.

Mahindra’s commercial vehicles market share is broken down into 3 major segments, namely LCV Goods Total, MHCV Goods, and CV Passenger.

Of all commercial vehicles sold by Mahindra, the LCV Goods Total commands the highest market share for the company, well above 40% in FY23.

Prior to FY23, Mahindra’s market share in the LCV segment had declined below 40% but this figure had remarkably recovered in post-pandemic times.

For your information, Mahindra delivered slightly more than 240,000 commercial vehicles within the LCV segment in FY23, representing a year-over-year increase of 40%.

In other commercial vehicle segments which include the MHCV Goods and CV Passenger, Mahindra had very little market share and sold very few vehicles under these segments.

For example, Mahindra’s market share for MHCV Goods was only 2.0% in FY23 while the market share of CV Passenger came in at only 3.8% in the same period.

A trend worth mentioning is that Mahindra’s market share within the LCV Goods segment has considerably declined over the years while those of the MHCV and CV Passenger segments have largely remained flat even in post-pandemic periods.

Although Mahindra achieves massive success in the commercial vehicle segment, this is not the case in the passenger vehicle segment.

As seen in the chart above, Mahindra’s total market share in the passenger vehicle segment totaled only 9.2% as of FY23, only about one-third of the figure in the commercial vehicle sector.

Despite the underachievement in the passenger vehicle segment, Mahindra’s market share has significantly improved in post-pandemic times and the latest result even surpasses the pre-pandemic levels.

As seen, Mahindra’s 9.2% market share in the passenger vehicle sector was a record figure over the past 8 years.

For your information, Mahindra shipped slightly over 359,000 passenger vehicles in FY23 compared to 226,000 vehicles reported in FY22, about 59% higher year-on-year.

Mahindra’s passenger vehicle segment is categorized into 3 segments and they are utility vehicles, passenger cars, and MPVs (vans).

Of all the passenger vehicle segments, the utility vehicle segment commands the highest market share in India for the company, reportedly at 18% as of FY23.

Despite the considerably higher utility vehicle market share in FY23, the latest result was less than half of that reported back in FY14.

Therefore, in a span of 10 years, Mahindra’s market share in the utility vehicle segment has declined from 41.7% to only 17.8%.

For other passenger vehicle sectors, Mahindra has an even lower market share.

For example, Mahindra literally has zero market share in the passenger car segment while the market share for MPVs totaled only 1.5% as of FY23.
