Mahindra & Mahindra on Monday said its total wholesales increased 9 per cent year-on-year to 76,755 units in August.

The company's total dispatches to its dealers stood at 70,350 units in August 2023.

The Mumbai-based auto major's passenger vehicle sales in the domestic market rose 16 per cent to 43,277 units last month against 37,270 units in August last year, the auto major said in a statement.

Total exports of the company rose 26 per cent to 3,060 last month from 2,423 units in the year-ago period.
