Production numbers showed a rebound: 1,049 commercial vehicles were produced in September 2025, compared to 863 units in the same month last year. However, sales decreased to 812 units, suggesting a disconnect between production and actual sales volume. Export sales also increased, reaching 138 units compared to 67 units previously.
SML Mahindra’s history is significant; it’s a long-standing manufacturer of light and medium commercial vehicles in India. The company was an early innovator, being the first to produce fully built buses, ambulances, and customized vehicles. Major shareholders include Sumitomo Corporation (43.96%) and Isuzu Motors (15%), but Mahindra & Mahindra now holds the majority stake.
On August 1st, 2025, Mahindra & Mahindra acquired a controlling interest, becoming the new promoter. This was further solidified by an open offer, increasing Mahindra’s share to 58.97%. The company has rebranded itself as SML Mahindra Limited, effective October 8th, 2025, reflecting this new ownership structure.
Ultimately, SML Mahindra’s future success hinges on effectively addressing declining sales and enhancing its market position within the competitive commercial vehicle sector.
