For this, the company is looking to couple Mahindra Electric’s expertise in electric cars with the design capabilities of Italian Pininfarina which it acquired a year ago, The Economic Times reported Thursday. Terming the project as M&M’s “dream”, Managing Director Pawan Goenka said while many companies are launching electrics, only one or two have been successful in cracking the volumes game.

 The viability study will take 3-6 months, he told the paper. M&M is already at an advanced stage of developing an electric SUV, based on its KUV platform. The electric SUV is expected to hit the market after 2018-2019. Separately, M&M is planning to set up a hub outside India to shore up 50 percent automotive revenues from international operations. Rajesh Jejurikar, President and Chief executive, farm equipment & two-wheelers division, on Wednesday said M&M is already the No. 1 tractor maker in the world in terms of volume and is present in 30 markets, including the US, Finland, Algeria, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, China, Japan and Australia.
