Automobile manufacturing company Mahindra & Mahindra said on Monday (December 1, 2025) that sales of its sports utility vehicles (SUV) to dealers rose 22% in November from a year earlier, driven by continued demand boost from tax cuts.

In September, India cut the goods and services tax on SUVs with engines over 1,500 cc capacity to 40% from about 50%, aiming to spur consumer spending and bolster growth amid challenges from steep U.S. tariffs.

Around 80% of Mahindra’s SUVs have engines over 1,500 cc.

Market leader Maruti Suzuki, along with Hyundai India and Tata Motors, are yet to report their sales figures.

Mahindra, which launched a seven-seater electric SUV last week, sold 56,336 SUVs in November 2025.
