Mahindra, like every other automaker in India continued to face constraints in supply of semiconductors. Though this shortage is not as severe as it was in the past two years, it has still had an adverse effect on production which in turn has led to longer waiting periods of certain models. The longest waiting periods have been seen for the Scorpio N and XUV700.

Sales in the utility vehicle segment in the past month surged by 54 percent to a total of 34,698 units from 22,526 units sold in April 2022.

Mahindra Tractor Sales April 2023
Mahindra has reported an 11 percent decline in tractor sales. Extensive buying during the month of March 2023 on account of two very important festivals of Navratri and Gudi Padwa coupled with unforeseen monsoons in the past month, led to this de-growth. However, with higher reservoir levels aiding in timely growth of Kharif crops could stir up sales in the months ahead.
