It also marks the Indian manufacturer’s 30th year in South Africa with the new plant, located close to Mahindra’s original 2018 semi-knocked-down automotive facility assembly site and represents a significant scale-up in both capacity and technical sophistication.

Increased capacity

The Durban facility can assemble over 1,000 Pik Up single and double cab models per month, with the ability to scale further as demand grows.

It also offers the flexibility to accommodate new models Mahindra plans to introduce in the coming years, alongside an increasing level of locally sourced components.
