SML Mahindra Sales September 2026: 1,151 Units, +50.9% YoY
Full Vahan registration report for SML Mahindra in September 2026 — total volume, year-on-year and month-on-month change, where it ranks against every other manufacturer, and the segment and fuel mix behind the number.
SML Mahindra in September 2026
SML Mahindra registered 1,151 vehicles in India in September 2026. Volume rocketed 50.9% against September 2025 and declined 7.5% against August. Its best month on record remains June 2026 at 1,849.
Of those, 998 were buses (86.7% of the total), +37.8% on September 2025. That figure is exact: it is counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter rather than worked out from the company total.
That put SML Mahindra 54th among every manufacturer registering vehicles in India in September 2026, behind Euler Motors on 1,301 and ahead of Stellantis India on 1,100.
Measured against every vehicle registered in India that month — all segments, all fuels — that is 0.0% of the market, +0.01pp against September 2025.
Across 2026 to date — the 9 months of the year that have closed — the company has registered 12,390 vehicles, +20.5% on the same months of 2025.
SML Mahindra monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What SML Mahindra sells
62.9% of everything SML Mahindra has registered in 2026 is in buses, and the company holds 7.5% of that segment nationally. Goods carriers is next at 26.7%.
This split is the calendar year to date and cannot be cut to a single month: our Vahan data holds a manufacturer's volume by month, and its volume by vehicle class, but not the two together. Multiplying them would be a guess, so the table stays on the axis where the number is exact.

"Share of segment" is this company against every other manufacturer in the same segment, over the same months.
Fuel mix
SML Mahindra has registered no battery-electric vehicles in 2026 in this data.
Fuel, like segment, is published against the manufacturer for the whole year rather than by month, so these shares are 2026 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.
| Fuel | 2026 units | Share | vs 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 11,781 | 90.3% | +4.21pp |
| CNG / LPG | 1,270 | 9.7% | −4.20pp |
Every manufacturer, September 2026
Ranked on total registrations across every vehicle type, which is the finest manufacturer split our Vahan data holds with a month axis. Two-wheeler makers therefore sit above carmakers selling far more value — this is a count of vehicles, not of revenue.

More from the reports desk
Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately.
