Mahindra powers e-plans with 5 new SUVs

LONDON: In one of the biggest scale-up in clean mobility, Mahindra & Mahindra unveiled five new electric SUVs, some through an all-new BE (born electric) brand, as the company hopes to sell over a million greens by 2030 and consolidate its position in the fast-growing bigger off-roader segment.
The company chose the 75th year of the country’s independence to unveil the cars and broader electric strategy at its design centre in the UK, with chairman Anand Mahindra joining the top leadership of Anish Shah (MD & CEO) and Rajesh Jejurikar (director – auto and farm sectors).
The new cars, which will use components from Volkswagen’s MEB platform, will be launched between 2024 and 2026, except for one that comes later. The development underlines the bolder move by the homegrown brand in green mobility where it is estimated to be investing Rs 10,000 crore.
