Maharashtra: Mahindra Unveils Its EV Manufacturing, Battery Plant

Mahindra recently unveiled its newly dedicated manufacturing and battery assembly facility at its Chakan (Pune) plant located in Maharashtra. It’s a fully integrated ecosystem to produce Electric Origin SUVs. The unit is located within the company’s 2.83 km-sq Chakan manufacturing hub. It is one of the large greenfield projects, a water-positive facility. It is 100% reliant on renewable energy.

As announced earlier, Mahindra has allocated ₹ 4,500 Crores out of the total ₹16,000 Crores planned in the F22–F27 investment cycle. This includes powertrain development, two product top hats including software & tech, and manufacturing capacity. Mahindra’s EV manufacturing hub is a fully integrated, highly automated manufacturing ecosystem that leverages over 1,000 robots and multiple automated transfer systems. Alongside a strong focus on skill development and quality, the EV facility targets a 25% gender diversity ratio, reinforcing the plant’s inclusive and future-ready work culture.

EV PLANT

• A footprint of around 88000 m² for the EV domain.
• Utilizes a fully automated Press Shop, an AI-driven Body Shop, and robotic Paint Shops to optimize quality and efficiency
• Deploys over 500 robots and fully automated transfer systems in Body Shop, all monitored via an IoT-based “Nerve Center” for real-time process insights and end-to-end traceability.
• Adopts Industry 4.0 tech, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robot), and AGVs for seamless material movement, underscoring Mahindra’s commitment to safety, speed, and reliability in sustainable manufacturing.

BATTERY ASSEMBLY

• Operates as one of the world’s most compact battery manufacturing lines, employing patented processes and lean module assembly.
• This fully automated plant integrates world-class manufacturing processes developed and implemented indigenously to produce/store/transfer high-performance, long-lasting batteries using industry 4.0 tech.
• Employs a patented pallet design for optimal insulation and geometric accuracy, plus hidden cell terminal welding for enhanced connectivity and robust performance. • Performs multi-layered end-of-line testing simulating real-world conditions, backed by IP67 ingress protection, real-time temperature monitoring, and automated anomaly isolation.
• Implements a no-fault-forward strategy with proprietary switching technology
• Reinforces Mahindra’s pledge to deliver durability, safety, and peace of mind through best-in-class battery solutions tailored for electric mobility.
