Cofacto Research Published November 01, 2026 4 min read

Mahindra & Mahindra, India's leading SUV and tractor maker, heads into its Q2 FY 2026-2027 print with auto wholesales running well ahead of retail and farm volumes under pressure from the weakest monsoon in over a decade. The key things the results will speak to are whether auto PBIT margins recover from Q1's 7.7% low point amid steel at four-year highs, and whether management holds or moderates its ~5% FY27 tractor industry growth guidance.

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited Q2 Results Date and Time

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited is scheduled to report its Q2 FY 2026-2027 results on November 05, 2026.

Key Things To Watch

Guidance scorecard to interrogate: FY27 guidance was reiterated at the last call; here is where each item stands heading into Q2.

  • SUV growth (M&M) — mid-to-high teens for FY27: Q1 SUV volumes +15% sat at the lower end, and Jul-Sep UV sales grew +20%/+50%/+14%; watch whether management reiterates or trims given the heavy back-half base
  • Tractor industry — ~5% for FY27: September domestic tractors fell 23% against guidance built on H2 rainfall-deficit risk; expect pointed questions on the full-year trajectory
  • Total auto capacity — 82k units/month by F27 H2 exit, with interim milestones of 64.5k to 68k by end of H1 and ICE capacity of 60,000/month by September
  • EV volumes — 7,000-8,000 units/month for the three current models in CY2027, tracked against the internal 25% EV-mix target by FY28
  • Timed corporate actions: Embraer-Novavayu 51% sale completion by 1 December 2026, MMFSL-RHFL merger appointed date 1 April 2027, Global Pik Up India debut by April 2027 below Rs. 19.79 lakh, and capex of Rs. 20,000-25,000 Cr over FY27-FY28 including the Nagpur greenfield

Commodity and pricing pass-through: Whether the 2.7% July price hike and easing aluminium offset the Q1 commodity hit.

  • Auto PBIT margin was 7.7% in Q1 FY27 after a 400-500 bps commodity headwind and ~85 bps hedging loss; watch the Q2 bridge with HRC at Rs. 64,000/t (four-year high) and record rubber at Rs. 290/kg against aluminium ~10% below its June-quarter average
  • Whether a further price increase is announced — a decision was flagged as imminent on September 27
  • Management's stated expectation that margins will improve from the current low point, barring significant further commodity price increases

Memory chip supply and dealer inventory: Supply and channel checks that could shape Q3 dispatches.

  • Updated Nexperia/DRAM cover beyond Q3 — the global memory shortage intensified through the quarter, with DRAM ASPs up 40%+ QoQ in April-June and capacity sold out through 2027 per SK Hynix
  • FADA PV dealer inventory of ~38-40 days at August-end plus a further ~5-day September build, against M&M's September production of 121,722 exceeding sales of 113,705 — how much Q2 wholesale growth was festive stocking
  • SUV revenue market share, which slipped to 25.0% in Q1 FY27 (-230 bps YoY), and EV mix progress

Frequently Asked Questions

Will M&M revise its FY27 tractor industry growth guidance?

Management guided for mid-single digit (~5%) tractor industry growth in FY27 but flagged that the guidance would have to be moderated given rainfall-deficit projections for August-September.

How much PLI benefit has M&M recognised so far?
