It includes six battery-powered SUVs, its CEO Rajesh Jejurikar said.
While it plans to invest into EVs, Mahindra is also looking closely at hybrids.
It currently has one EV model on sale, the XUV400 but is expected to launch a new range of EVs in 2025, Bloomberg reported.
The automaker says it expects electric variants to form 20% to 30% of its SUV sales by 2027.
Mahindra Managing Director Anish Shah said in a post-earnings press conference, “At this point in time, we feel good about the focus on EVs.”
