Mahindra has cashed in Rs. 4,500 crore from its Rs. 16,000 crore investment plan for the F22–F27 cycle, focusing on powertrain development, software and enhanced manufacturing capacity

Mahindra has unveiled a new manufacturing and battery assembly facility at its Chakan plant, marking a major milestone in its journey toward sustainable mobility. The state-of-the-art hub, dedicated to producing born electric SUVs, is located within the sprawling 2.83 km² Chakan manufacturing hub. It operates as a water-positive unit powered entirely by renewable energy.

The homegrown SUV manufacturer has allocated Rs. 4,500 crore of its Rs. 16,000 crore F22–F27 investment cycle for this project, encompassing powertrain development, product design and manufacturing capacity expansion. The Chakan EV facility represents a highly automated and integrated ecosystem and it leverages advanced robotics technology comprising over 1,000 robots.

Along with the automated transfer systems, it helps to streamline the production processes. The plant also aims for a 25 per cent gender diversity ratio, reflecting Mahindra’s focus on inclusivity and forward-thinking workforce policies.
