Why it matters
Despite operating at low inventory levels since the Covid pandemic, Mercedes-Benz India expects 2026 to be its best-ever year. The company maintains a single-digit growth outlook for the October-December quarter, noting that vehicle availability, rather than customer demand, is the primary constraint on growth.
