Sales are expected to increase by 4.1 percent Q-o-Q (up 12.1 percent Y-o-Y) to Rs 10578.9 crore, according to Motilal Oswal.

Motilal Oswal's report on Mahindra & Mahindra
Overall volume grew 12 percent Y-o-Y (+5 percent Q-o-Q), driven by new launches in UVs (+12 percent Y-o-Y, -15 percent Q-o-Q) and recovery in tractors on low base (+20 percent Y-o-Y, +9 percent Q-o-Q). MM (including MVML)’s realization would be flat Y-o-Y (-1 percent Q-o-Q), as better product mix due to increase in share of tractors is offset by increase in lower ASP compact UVs. Revenue is likely to grow 12 percent Y-o-Y (+4 percent Q-o-Q) to Rs 106b.
