The Nagpur complex is expected to deliver an annual output of more than 500,000 vehicles and 100,000 tractors.

Mahindra & Mahindra, the world's largest tractor producer by volume and India's leading automobile manufacturer, has announced plans to establish its largest integrated automobile and tractor manufacturing facility in Nagput, Maharashtra, marking a major expansion of its manufacturing footprint.

The project will see the construction of a new 1500-acre plant in the Vidarbha region, complemented by a 150-acre supplier park in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, designed to streamline logistics and strengthen local supply chains.

Mahindra has committed around $1.65 billion over the next decade for the facility, with production scheduled to begin in 2028.

When fully operational, the Nagpur complex is expected to deliver an annual output of more than 500,000 vehicles and 100,000 tractors, making it the company's largest single integrated manufacturing hub in India.

Located near major road and rail arteries, the site's strategy is to boost production of Mahindra's next-generation vehicles, including development of new powertrain technologies for ICE and electric powerplants.

Government officials and company leaders have highlighted the plant's potential to generate significant employment and reinforce Nagpur and Vidarbha's status as an industrial hub.
