Mahindra had a record October, dispatching 73,338 SUVs in the domestic market. That’s a 2.4% increase over the 71,624 units recorded in October 2025. Compared with September, volumes were up by a much healthier 14.4%. The Scorpio continued to do the heavy lifting, comfortably leading Mahindra’s model-wise chart. The Thar and Bolero also had a much better month than they did in September, although their year-on-year performances tell a slightly different story. The electric range, meanwhile, contributed 8,599 units.
The Scorpio range, comprising the Scorpio-N and Scorpio Classic, recorded 19,353 units in October. This was an 8% improvement over the same month last year and a 12% increase over September. It alone accounted for more than a quarter of Mahindra’s domestic SUV dispatches.
The Bolero finished second with 12,348 units. While this was 14% lower than its October 2025 figure, dispatches rose 27% over September. The Thar was close behind at 11,956 units. Its monthly numbers jumped 33%, making it one of the biggest contributors to Mahindra’s sequential growth. However, it was still marginally below its year-ago figure of 12,029 units.

The XUV 3XO recorded 10,828 units, almost unchanged from September but down 12% year-on-year. The XUV 7XO followed with 10,254 units, registering 13% month-on-month growth. Mahindra’s electric SUV range accounted for around 11.7% of its total domestic SUV dispatches in October. The XEV 9S led the electric portfolio with 4,865 units, followed by the XEV 9e at 1,941 units and the BE 6 at 1,717 units.
The XEV 9S also recorded a 5% improvement over September. The XEV 9e, on the other hand, was down 2% month-on-month and 28% year-on-year. BE 6 dispatches improved 13% over the previous month, despite remaining 20% below its October 2025 figure. The XUV400 contributed just 76 units. Its 485% month-on-month growth looks dramatic, but that is largely because September’s base was only 13 units.

October’s numbers underline the importance of Mahindra’s established SUV nameplates. The Scorpio remains the backbone of its portfolio, while the Thar and Bolero provided a strong month-on-month boost. The electric range is also beginning to account for a meaningful share of volumes, with the XEV 9S leading the charge.
The bigger picture is that Mahindra’s record month came despite relatively modest annual growth. The sharp improvement over September is encouraging, but sustaining that momentum across the coming months will be the real test.
