Mahindra automotive capacity expansion roadmap targets FY27 growth
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited has outlined a comprehensive automotive capacity expansion strategy targeting a monthly operational capacity of 82,000 units by the second half of FY27. The roadmap combines short-term capacity optimization across existing manufacturing facilities with long-term greenfield investments to significantly increase vehicle production capability between FY26 and FY31. The company’s plan includes separate allocations for internal combustion engine vehicles and battery electric vehicles to support upcoming product launches and future market requirements.
By the second half of FY27, confirmed monthly production capacity will reach 82,000 units, consisting of 70,000 ICE vehicles and 12,000 BEVs. Within this planned allocation, 10,000 ICE units and 4,000 BEV units per month are reserved for new product launches scheduled during FY28. The production strategy reflects the company’s focus on scaling multiple vehicle platforms while preparing manufacturing infrastructure for increasing demand across conventional and electric vehicle segments.
Chakan expansion and future manufacturing scale-up
The company is adding 10,000 units of monthly capacity at its Chakan manufacturing facility to support upcoming vehicle programs. This expansion will increase the plant’s operational capability to 92,000 units per month by the end of FY28. The additional capacity is expected to provide greater flexibility for future launches while improving production readiness across different vehicle categories. The Chakan investment forms a key part of the company’s broader manufacturing strategy to strengthen domestic production capabilities.
For long-term growth, India-based manufacturing operations will be supported through a new greenfield facility announced in Nagpur. The facility is planned to contribute approximately 20,000 units per month by the exit of H1 FY30, followed by another 20,000 units per month addition by H1 FY31. The phased development approach allows production capacity to increase alongside future vehicle demand and product portfolio expansion.
Manufacturing capacity roadmap through FY31
| Manufacturing Initiative | Expected Capacity Impact |
|---|---|
| FY27 operational capacity | 82,000 units per month |
| Chakan plant expansion by FY28 | Additional 10,000 units per month |
| Nagpur greenfield facility H1 FY30 | Approximately 20,000 units per month |
| Nagpur additional expansion H1 FY31 | Additional 20,000 units per month |
The capacity expansion program highlights the company’s intent to create a scalable manufacturing ecosystem for future vehicle demand. By combining existing facility optimization with new production infrastructure, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited aims to strengthen its position in the passenger vehicle market while preparing for higher electrification requirements. The phased investment model enables gradual capacity additions aligned with product launches, market growth, and evolving customer demand.
