Mahindra Group has unveiled plans to develop its largest integrated manufacturing facility for automobiles and tractors in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The announcement was made at Advantage Vidarbha, a three-day flagship forum highlighting Vidarbha as an emerging industrial destination.
The new manufacturing complex will span nearly 1,500 acres in Vidarbha, along with a dedicated 150-acre supplier park in Sambhajinagar. Once fully operational, the facility will have an annual capacity of over 5 lakh vehicles and 1 lakh tractors, making it Mahindra’s biggest integrated manufacturing base in India.
Vidarbha offers key logistical advantages, including seamless road access through the Samruddhi Expressway, strong rail connectivity, proximity to domestic and export markets, and a rapidly growing industrial ecosystem. The supplier park in Sambhajinagar will support closer collaboration with partners, improve supply-chain efficiency, and enhance localisation. It will serve the Nagpur facility as well as Mahindra’s existing plants in Chakan and Nashik.
The automotive plant will support Mahindra Auto’s next-generation vehicle platforms, including the NU_IQ architecture, and will manufacture vehicles across multiple powertrains—internal combustion, electric, and future technologies—for both Indian and global markets. Advanced automation and digital manufacturing systems will anchor the facility, reflecting Mahindra’s focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability.
The tractor unit will strengthen Mahindra’s leadership in farm equipment, addressing rising domestic demand and key export markets. Additionally, Mahindra will acquire land in the Igatpuri–Nashik region to expand product and engine capacities and support the growth of its advanced technology operations. Overall, Mahindra plans to invest ₹15,000 crore in Maharashtra over the next 10 years, acquiring more than 2,000 acres across three locations to further expand its manufacturing footprint.
Commenting on the announcement, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the investment reflects confidence in the state’s industrial environment and policy framework, and will generate employment while accelerating regional development in Vidarbha and surrounding areas.
Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO – Auto and Farm Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said the facility represents a major step in Mahindra’s manufacturing journey, combining scale, flexibility, and advanced technology to support next-generation products and strengthen the company’s “Make in India for the World” vision. With this project, Mahindra continues to advance its focus on future mobility and farm mechanisation while contributing to India’s industrial growth.
