Mercedes-Benz India Achieves Record H1 Sales of 9,768 Units
Mercedes-Benz India has kicked off 2026 on a high note, recording its strongest-ever sales performance in the first six months of the year. Between January and June, the luxury carmaker retailed 9,768 vehicles, marking a 9% year-on-year increase and setting a new benchmark for its operations in India.
The company also posted its highest-ever second-quarter (Q2) sales of 4,637 units, reflecting steady demand despite a competitive market.
The figures underline the growing interest among Indian buyers in premium vehicles, especially those offering advanced technology, luxury, and electrified powertrains.
New Models and Premium Line-Up Drive Sales Growth
Mercedes-Benz credited its record performance to strong customer response for several newly introduced models. The recently launched CLA BEV attracted buyers looking to switch to premium electric mobility, while the V-Class luxury MPV continued to find favour among customers seeking space and comfort.
At the same time, the brand’s Mercedes-AMG performance range and top-end luxury models delivered impressive results, together contributing nearly 28% of total sales.
Electric vehicles also accounted for a larger share of overall deliveries, highlighting the growing acceptance of luxury EVs in the Indian market.
Company Confident About the Second Half of 2026
Mercedes-Benz India expects the positive momentum to continue in the coming months. The company plans to strengthen its retail presence by opening five new luxury dealerships, including one in Varanasi, to reach customers in emerging markets.
A broader product portfolio, the upcoming festive buying season, and continued investment in electric mobility are expected to support further growth.
With customer demand remaining healthy across both conventional and electric models, the brand is optimistic about maintaining its strong performance throughout the year.
