Apex dealer body reported a muted first three weeks in September 2025, followed by a dramatic boost in demand as Navratri, GST 2.0 price reductions came into force.
In Q2 FY2026, Mercedes-Benz sold 5119 units, however, the highlight was the fact that the company retailed around 2500 units, just during the 9 days of Navratri.
September was a bit of a mixed bag for carmakers in the domestic market though the GST 2.0 implementation has brought increased footfalls and bookings.
The Pune-based carmaker delivered more than 10,000 passenger vehicles on the first day of Navratri, and ended September with the second highest vehicle registrations, beating Mahindra and Hyundai to the spot.
