Mahindra & Mahindra, a key player in the Indian automotive sector, has unveiled plans to inject 120 billion rupees ($1.44 billion) into its electric vehicles (EV) unit. This significant move comes following a successful fourth quarter, fueled by robust sales of its SUV lineup.
The company disclosed its intention to transfer assets valued at 7.96 billion rupees from its EV car business to Mahindra Electric Automobile, its electric subsidiary. This strategic investment underscores Mahindra’s commitment to expanding its electric vehicle portfolio, with the launch of a new range of EVs slated for the coming year. Anish Shah, the company’s Managing Director, had earlier emphasized the importance of this initiative in an interview with Reuters.
Simultaneously, Mahindra witnessed a noteworthy surge in SUV sales during the last quarter, with a 27.2% increase compared to the same period last year. This trend aligns with the broader shift in the Indian automotive market, where utility vehicles accounted for more than half of all passenger vehicle sales, marking a 31% year-on-year growth.
The company’s exceptional performance in the fourth quarter is further evidenced by a 31.6% rise in standalone profit after tax, reaching 20.38 billion rupees ($244.06 million), surpassing analysts’ projections. Additionally, Mahindra’s automotive business, a significant revenue contributor, experienced an 11.2% growth, reaching 251.09 billion rupees, exceeding analyst estimates.
With a substantial investment in electric mobility and a strong performance in its core automotive segment, Mahindra & Mahindra is poised to navigate India’s evolving automotive landscape with confidence.
