Mahindra has seen a significant increase in the share of electric models in its overall sales. EVs accounted for 7.5 percent of its volumes in the first 10 months of 2025, up from 1 percent during the corresponding period last year, when it had just the XUV400 in its electric portfolio. With the addition of the BE 6 and XEV 9e to its line-up earlier this year and the upcoming launch of the XEV 9S on November 27, Mahindra is moving closer to meeting its target of EVs comprising 15 to 25 percent of its sales by 2027.

CAFE III compliance seems on track

Mahindra aims for EVs to comprise 15-25 percent of sales by 2027

In an interview with Autocar Professional, Rajesh Jejurikar, ED and CEO – Automotive and Farm Business at Mahindra, said the company is targeting 15-25 percent of its sales to come from EVs by 2027 to meet the CAFE norms. India’s CAFE regulations require carmakers to meet a minimum average fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission standard across their entire fleet of vehicles. Mahindra, with an array of upcoming EVs lined up, appears to be ready to meet the new CAFE III target, effective April 2027.
