Mahindra Plans to Produce 10,000 New SUVs Monthly

Chakan, November 14: Mahindra is gearing up to expand its SUV range in the Indian market. The company aims to strengthen its foothold in the sub-4-meter SUV segment by developing a new platform named NU_IQ. The first SUV to be built on this platform will be based on the Vision S concept, expected to launch by July 2027. Notably, Mahindra plans to produce 10,000 units of this new SUV each month, indicating high expectations from this new range.

First SUV Based on Vision S

Mahindra unveiled the Vision S concept in August 2025, alongside three other concepts named Vision T, Vision X, and Vision SXT. The production model of Vision S will be developed on the NU_IQ platform, making it the first SUV to utilize this new architecture. It is anticipated that the production model will feature a boxy and straightforward design similar to the concept, although the company has yet to reveal the final design and name.

Production of 10,000 Vehicles Monthly

The production of this new SUV will take place at Mahindra’s Chakan plant in Maharashtra. Initially, the company plans to have a production capacity of 10,000 vehicles per month. However, this figure reflects the company’s production readiness and not its sales target. In the future, production may shift to a new plant being developed in Nagpur, expected to be operational by around 2029. Mahindra aims to increase its total monthly production capacity to approximately 132,000 vehicles by FY31.

Company’s Planning

Currently, Mahindra has the capacity to produce around 68,000 vehicles per month for petrol-diesel and electric SUVs. This capacity is planned to increase to 82,000 units by FY27 and approximately 92,000 units by March 2028. The NU_IQ platform is designed to accommodate various body styles and engine types.

Details of the SUV Coming Soon

Mahindra’s strategy includes launching a new SUV each year on the NU_IQ platform. Thus, the Vision S-based model will only be the beginning of this new range. Following this, the company may introduce new models across different segments and price points, enhancing its presence from smaller SUVs to larger segments. More information regarding the SUV’s design, name, engine, and pricing is expected to be revealed in the near future.
