[Construction World](https://www.constructionworld.in/policy-updates-and-economic-news/mahindra-ev-sales-limited-by-capacity-not-demand/99122) reported that the company could sell an additional 2,000 to 3,000 vehicles each month if supply limitations were resolved.\n\n## Mahindra's Electric SUV Capacity Plan\n\nVelusamy R, president of Mahindra's automotive business and managing director of Mahindra Electric Automobile, said monthly demand had risen to 10,000-11,000 units after retail sales exceeded 8,000 vehicles in each of the previous couple of months. \"Supply constraints were affecting several other automakers in the electric vehicle industry as well,\" he said.\n\nMahindra is currently India's second-largest electric car seller after Tata Motors. Its electric vehicle portfolio comprises four models: the XUV 400, BE6, 9E and 9S. The company said high petrol and diesel prices were encouraging customers to consider electric vehicles because of their lower running costs, while improving charging infrastructure and longer driving ranges are strengthening customer confidence.\n\nOverall passenger vehicle demand is being supported by goods and services tax reforms and the festive season, with the company reporting strong buying interest across sport utility vehicles powered by both internal combustion engines and electric drivetrains. Mahindra has also entered the compressed natural gas-powered SUV segment with the launch of the XUV 3XO ZNG, which has a starting ex-showroom price of Rs. 1 mn. The company attributed its entry into the mainstream CNG passenger vehicle market to higher petrol and diesel prices, the expansion of CNG outlets particularly in northern markets, and the rising share of CNG vehicles among passenger cars.\n\n## Mahindra's Group Scale and Funding History\n\n[Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000nd7/mahindra-and-mahindra-ltd) is the publicly listed flagship of the Mahindra Group, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), with a group turnover cited at more than $23 billion and more than 324,000 employees across 20-plus industries and 100-plus countries. The same records list three funding rounds, including a 2019 post-IPO equity round of $204.9 million led by La Caisse, a 2014 post-IPO equity round led by Samena Capital, and a 2008 post-IPO equity round of $60 million led by MAPE Advisory Group.\n\n## Mahindra's September Sales and Earlier Moves\n\nMahindra's September 2026 sales showed the Scorpio leading with 17,313 units, or 27.01% of monthly sales, followed by the XUV 3XO and Bolero, according to EIN Presswire. The XEV 9S contributed 4,636 units, strengthening the electric lineup. Cardekho reported that the Mahindra XUV 3XO saw the highest month-on-month growth in the subcompact SUV segment in September 2026, at 30.4%.\n\n## What Comes Next for Mahindra\n\nThe capacity increase is scheduled for completion by the end of the current financial year.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
