Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is set to begin exporting its electric vehicles to the United Kingdom, capitalising on the newly finalised India-UK free trade agreement (FTA). The move marks a significant step in the company’s global expansion strategy and highlights India’s growing role in the clean mobility sector.
Group CEO and Managing Director Anish Shah said the agreement would enable smoother and more cost-effective trade routes, creating fresh opportunities for Indian manufacturers. “The FTA is balanced and opens the UK market to Indian goods while making it easier for Indian companies to export across sectors,” Shah noted.
Mahindra aims for electric vehicles to contribute 30% of its total sales by 2030. The company’s push into the UK market will be supported by its Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (M.A.D.E.) facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire, established in 2022 to lead design and concept development for global markets.
The FTA is expected to reduce trade barriers and costs, giving Mahindra a competitive edge in one of the world’s most advanced automotive markets. The company believes its growing EV portfolio—backed by domestic manufacturing and European design capabilities—will position it as a strong contender in the UK’s rapidly expanding electric mobility segment.
This export plan underscores M&M’s ambition to evolve into a global auto manufacturer while contributing to sustainable transport solutions worldwide.
