Mahindra has been on a roll with its new launches. Both the Mahindra XUV700 and the new Scorpio-N turned out to be a runaway success for the brand, attracting a year long waiting period. And even though there's a delay in deliveries, the company is pushing its limit to meet the demand. It recorded its best-ever monthly sales last month selling 29,852 units in August 2022 recording an uptick of 87 per cent compared to 15,973 units it sold a year ago when the industry was gripped by the semiconductor shortage. In fact, the increase in sales has helped Mahindra achieving the highest revenue market share in the SUV space.

Speaking to Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, Editor-In-Chief, carandbike, Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director- Auto & Farm Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra said, "August was our highest ever month in SUVs and we did close to 30,000 numbers, which is a very close number to unvolume and a clear number one when it comes to revenue market share. So yes, demand is very strong but doesn't mean that supply is bad is bad. It's just that the supply is not able to cope up with a very strong demand."
