July-September earnings buoyed by strong tractor sales, even as demand for its SUVs cooled. Here’s the breakdown:

tractor segment experienced robust growth, helping offset slower sales in other areas. Rural demand and agricultural mechanization contributed to this boost.

passenger vehicle segment, highlighting sensitivity to policy changes.

· Overall,
profits remained strong, thanks to tractors and other core business units.· The tractor division continues to be a
key revenue driver, reinforcing M&M’s position in the agricultural machinery market.
4. Impact of GST Speculation
Market anticipation of
GST reductions on vehicles caused a
temporary dip in SUV sales, showing how tax policy influences consumer behavior.
5. Looking Ahead
· M&M may
continue to rely on tractors for steady growth.· SUV sales are expected to
pick up post-GST adjustments, potentially restoring balance in revenue streams.
✅ Bottom Line
While
SUV sales temporarily slowed, Mahindra’s strong tractor performance ensured the company maintained solid earnings for the quarter. Diversification across segments helped
cushion the impact of market uncertainty.
