New Delhi, April 9: Mercedes-Benz India has achieved its highest-ever annual sales in the Indian market, registering a record 19,363 units in the financial year 2025–26. This marks a growth of 2.29 percent compared to 18,928 units sold in the previous fiscal.
The company also reported strong quarterly performance, with sales rising by 7.45 percent in the January–March 2026 period to 5,131 units, it said in a statement on Thursday.
According to the automaker, the growth was primarily driven by robust demand in the top-end and core luxury segments. Sales in the top-end luxury category grew by 16 percent during the fiscal year and surged by 25 percent in the March quarter.
Models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach range, EQS SUV, and the Mercedes-AMG portfolio contributed significantly to this growth. Notably, the top-end luxury segment accounted for 27 percent of the company’s total sales. Certain models, including the AMG G 63, currently have waiting periods ranging from four months to a year.
In the core segment, models like the C-Class, E-Class LWB, GLC, and GLE played a key role in sustaining volumes. The E-Class Long Wheelbase retained its position as the highest-selling luxury car in India.
However, the entry-level luxury segment witnessed an 18 percent decline due to rising competition from lower-priced offerings in the market. The company emphasized that its focus remains on delivering technologically advanced products rather than merely increasing volumes.
The automaker also posted strong growth in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. Sales of top-end EVs priced above ₹1.4 crore jumped by 85 percent, indicating rising consumer interest in premium electric mobility.
As part of its future roadmap, Mercedes-Benz India is set to launch the CLA Electric in the Indian market on April 24.
