Mahindra & Mahindra's Nashik manufacturing plant achieved a new milestone today with the roll-out of its 25th lakh vehicle from its Nashik manufacturing facility. The car to achieve this milestone was the company's popular Scorpio SUV, as it rolled off the production line.
Speaking on this occasion, Vijay Kalra, chief of manufacturing, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra said, “This achievement is a significant moment for us in our automotive journey and bears testimony to the relentless effort put in by each member of the Nashik plant.
