Mahindra Last Mile Mobility (LMM), a part of Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), has commenced work on its upcoming manufacturing unit at its existing plant in Zaheerabad, Telangana.
The company, as per the MoU entered into with the Government of Telangana in February, plans to invest ₹1,000 crore in the upcoming plant. With this new facility, it aims to build a state-of-the art battery assembly line, produce power packs and manufacture electronic as well as drivetrain components for electric three- and four-wheelers. The facility will also create employment for 800 to 1,000 employees in the region.
“EVs are a focus area for the Government of Telangana and we are committed to developing the right infrastructure and ecosystem for promotion and adoption of EVs. The new facility would help in proliferation of EVs not just in Telangana but across India,” said KT Rama Rao, Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, Industries and Commerce, after the ground-breaking ceremony of the plant.
