Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M), one of India’s leading automotive and farm equipment manufacturers, has officially announced plans to invest ₹15,000 crore over the next decade to expand its manufacturing presence in Maharashtra. The announcement was made during the Advantage Vidarbha investment summit, where the company confirmed that it will develop what is expected to become its largest integrated automobile and tractor manufacturing facility in the state.
According to the company’s official statement, the proposed facility will be developed near Nagpur in the Vidarbha region and will span approximately 1,500 acres. The investment forms part of Mahindra’s long-term strategy to increase production capacity, strengthen its supply chain ecosystem, and support future vehicle platforms across both domestic and international markets. Production at the new plant is expected to commence around 2028, subject to regulatory approvals, construction timelines, and operational readiness.
Company disclosures indicate that once fully operational, the plant is projected to have the capacity to produce more than 500,000 vehicles annually along with approximately 100,000 tractors per year. The facility is designed to support multiple powertrain technologies, including conventional internal combustion engines as well as electric and next-generation vehicle platforms. The expansion also aligns with Mahindra’s broader strategy to scale up manufacturing for upcoming models and evolving automotive technologies.
In addition to the main plant in Nagpur, Mahindra has outlined plans to strengthen its supplier ecosystem within Maharashtra. This includes the development of a supplier park in Sambhajinagar and expansion efforts in the Igatpuri–Nashik region to support engine and advanced component manufacturing. The company has stated that these initiatives are intended to enhance operational efficiency and improve logistical connectivity.
State government representatives have welcomed the announcement, noting that such large-scale industrial investments are expected to contribute to regional economic development and employment generation. However, specific job creation numbers have not been formally detailed in the company’s public communication at the time of announcement.
Mahindra & Mahindra, headquartered in Mumbai, is a flagship company of the Mahindra Group and operates across multiple sectors including automotive, farm equipment, and electric mobility. The ₹15,000 crore investment reflects the company’s continued focus on expanding its production footprint in India while preparing for future demand growth.
