India's Mahindra & Mahindra to invest $1.44 billion in EV arm; explores hybrid tech
BENGALURU (Reuters) -Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra said on Thursday it would invest $1.44 billion over the next three years in its electric vehicle (EV) unit to boost growth, even though it is now also closely looking at hybrid technology. Mahindra, India's third-biggest EV maker, currently sells just one model, the XUV400, but it is slated to launch a new range of EVs next year. "At this point in time, we feel good about the focus on EVs," Mahindra Managing Director Anish Shah said in a post-earnings press conference.
