Mercedes-Benz India Reports Record Sales Growth in First Nine Months of 2026
Mercedes-Benz India reported record sales of 15,190 units from January to September 2026, marking an 8 percent year-on-year increase. The third quarter saw 5,422 vehicles sold, a 6 percent rise from 2025, driven by strong demand across luxury segments including top-end, core, and entry-level models. The company anticipates continued growth during the festive season despite supply constraints and plans a price increase in January 2027 due to currency and inflation pressures. New launches like the CLA Electric and Maybach plug-in hybrid also contributed to sales momentum.
