March brought roaring success for M&M and Eicher Motors—but why are their shares dipping despite record sales?
Record-Breaking Sales
March was a month of celebration for two automotive giants—Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Eicher Motors. M&M reported a 23% year-on-year growth, selling 83,894 vehicles, while Eicher Motors, the maker of Royal Enfield bikes, zoomed ahead with a 34% surge, selling 101,021 motorcycles.
SUV Dominance and Electric Dreams
M&M’s SUV sales were a major driver, with 48,048 units sold domestically, marking an 18% increase. The company also kicked off deliveries of its Electric Origin SUVs, signaling strong demand for greener options.

Veejay Nakra, President of M&M’s Automotive Division, proudly announced that the company crossed 5 lakh SUV sales in the domestic market for the first time ever.

Meanwhile, Eicher Motors had its best year yet, crossing 1 million annual sales—a historic milestone. B Govindarajan, CEO of Royal Enfield, credited the success to popular models like the Bullet Battalion Black and the new Classic 350, along with quick adaptations to rider feedback.
Market Reaction: A Surprising Dip
Despite the stellar sales, both companies saw their shares trade 1% lower on the BSE. Investors may be weighing other factors, but the numbers tell a clear story—consumer demand is stronger than ever.
Looking Ahead
With such impressive growth, both companies are poised for a thrilling year. Will the momentum continue? Only time will tell, but for now, the road ahead looks bright.
