Overview
- Mahindra confirmed a dedicated production capacity of 10,000 units per month for its first NU_IQ‑based SUV as it moves the project from concept to production.
- The company expects the first NU_IQ SUV to launch by June 2027 and to roll out one new NU_IQ SUV each year thereafter.
- Initial assembly will start at Mahindra’s Chakan plant with a planned shift of manufacturing to the larger Nagpur complex around 2029 as overall capacity expands.
- Test vehicles and company disclosures show the NU_IQ architecture will support petrol, diesel and CNG powertrains with a six‑speed manual observed and a likely hybrid option.
- NU_IQ is part of a wider manufacturing plan to lift monthly output from today’s levels toward about 132,000 units by FY31, a move meant to meet strong SUV demand and enable exports such as planned U.K. entries.
