Mahindra To Invest Rs. 9,000 Crore To Revamp Its SUV Range By 2026

Mahindra's turnaround plan is in action and it has started showing positive results for the automaker. It registered a net profit of Rs. 48.44 crore on standalone basis in Q4 FY2021, recovering from a heavy loss of Rs. 2,502.43 crore incurred in the corresponding quarter last year. So moving forward from here the company is taking another step towards revamping its product range. Mahindra has earmarked a capital expenditure (CAPEX) of Rs. 9,000 crore for its auto business as it plans to launch nine new models by the end of 2026.
