12 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

MG Comet EV gained 5.3 percentage points on Gemini and AI Mode gains, as the fragmented vertical holds no brand above 60% citation share and Tata Punch EV leads unchanged.

The move

Tata Punch EV held the lead at 59.3% citation share (unchanged from the previous edition), ranking first on Gemini at 68% and AI Mode at 62% but only third on ChatGPT at 48%, where Mahindra BE 6 leads at 56%.

MG Comet EV was the biggest mover, rising 5.3 percentage points to 26%, with Gemini (30%, rank 6) and AI Mode (30%, rank 7) as the engines of that gain while ChatGPT remains low at 18%.

The citation pool expanded significantly with 30 new domains entering including mahindra.com, auto.mahindra.com, and mahindraelectricsuv.com, alongside mgmotor.co.in appearing as a top source at 20 citations (AI Mode primary).

Despite multiple Mahindra-affiliated domains entering the pool, the Mahindra brands did not show proportionate gains relative to the source count.

What it means

At 59.3% for the leader, this is a fragmented vertical: four brands cluster between 50-60% with no single brand locking any engine above 70% consistently.

MG Comet EV's gain on Gemini and AI Mode correlates with mgmotor.co.in's AI Mode prominence, suggesting owned-domain authority matters here at the product-page level.

The Mahindra domain flood mahindra.comauto.mahindra.commahindraelectricsuv.com all entering simultaneously not translating into proportionate citation gains indicates that domain count alone is not the lever, content quality and structure within those domains is.

For operators, the fragmented state means no single competitor is locked in, and AI Mode, which sources from structured product and comparison pages, is the engine most responsive to technical content investments in this vertical.
