Mahindra & Mahindra sold 32k passenger vehicles in June

Earlier this month, Mahindra & Mahindra reported a 21 per cent hike in domestic passenger vehicles sales at 32,588 units in June. The automaker had sold 26,880 units in June last year, PTI quoted the company statement.

"With strong demand for the SUV portfolio, we have continued our growth trend with domestic sales of 32,585 units and 22 per cent growth in June," M&M Ltd President, Automotive Division Veejay Nakra said.

He, however, added that SUV volumes were restricted by a short-term disruption in engine-related parts at the supplier end.
