Mercedes-Benz India Hits Record H1 and Q2 Sales

Mercedes-Benz India has achieved its highest-ever sales for the second quarter and the first half of 2026. The automaker reported retailing 9,768 units during the first six months of the year, with 4,637 units delivered in the April-June quarter alone. This performance underscores a robust demand for luxury vehicles in the Indian market, even as the broader automotive sector navigates varying levels of economic growth.

The surge in sales is largely attributed to strong performance across the top-end luxury portfolio, which grew by over 20%. The AMG performance division saw a massive jump of 50%, reflecting an appetite for high-performance vehicles among Indian consumers. Furthermore, the penetration of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) doubled to reach 14% of the total volume in the second quarter, indicating a shift in buyer preference toward sustainable luxury options.

The record-breaking figures establish Mercedes-Benz India as a leader in the premium car segment. The consistent double-digit growth in luxury and high-performance categories suggests that the luxury consumer segment remains resilient to inflationary pressures. As the company continues to scale its electrification efforts, the success in the current year will likely encourage further investments in local assembly and electric vehicle infrastructure within India.
