With the recently launched Mahindra XEV 9S, the brand now has four electric vehicles on sale, including the XEV 9e, the BE 6, and the XUV400.

At the side-lines of the XEV 9S launch, Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director at Mahindra, stated that there are plans to increase the monthly production capacity for electric vehicles from the current 4,000-5,000 units to 8,000 units by the end of FY2026.

Mahindra EV production capacity

The born-electric Mahindra models are manufactured at the company's Chakan facility, which has a total production capacity of up to 10,000 units per month.

Jejurikar noted that the company will maintain an operating capacity of about 8,000 units a month by March 2026 "to make sure the supply chain, vendor ecosystem and workforce are prepared to run consistently at that level".

It was reported that approximately 7.5% of Mahindra's monthly sales come from electric vehicles, with the BE 6 and the XEV 9e together accounting for about 7% of its overall volumes.

The new XEV 9S is expected to increase these figures further, and Mahindra estimates that by 2028, 20-25% of its sales will come from electric models.

However, Mahindra has yet to disclose how the increased production capacity will be allocated among the born-electric models.

Jejurikar stated that the distribution will depend on demand, adding, "We will communicate model-wise details closer to the time, once we get into higher operating levels."
