What A Stat! Indians Bought 2500 Benz Cars In 9 Days!

India is a largely economical market, and this is the reason why economically priced cars are the hot cakes here. But when it comes to the Navratri season, things are completely different as Indians reportedly bought as many as 2500 Benz in a span of nine days.

Mercedes-Benz, India’s biggest luxury car brand, had a record-breaking Navratri season this year. The company sold one car every six minutes during the festival, delivering 2,500 cars in just nine days.

In the July to September quarter, Mercedes-Benz India achieved its strongest performance yet, selling 5,119 cars compared to 5,117 in the same period last year.

This growth was supported by a 6% cut in car prices after GST reductions, which encouraged more buyers. The average price of each car sold was around ₹1 crore. CEO Santosh Iyer said that between September 22 and 30, the company saw a huge increase in demand, with 270 cars sold every day.

During the first six months of 2025, Mercedes-Benz sold 9,357 units, marking a 4% year-on-year growth. The company has entered October with an order bank of nearly 2,000 cars, giving strong confidence for Dhanteras and Diwali sales.
