Mahindra Group Sets Ambitious 10x Growth Target in the Next Five Years

Published February 15, 2024

The Mahindra Group is gearing up to escalate its business growth significantly, targeting an expansion that could potentially see a tenfold increase over the next five years, as stated by CEO Anish Shah. With all the business segments performing robustly, the conglomerate is now shifting its focus from planning to meticulous execution to achieve this ambitious goal.

Growth Trajectory Across Divisions

Mahindra's diverse portfolio, which spans real estate, logistics, hospitality, and technology services, has shown considerable growth. The latest financial quarter has been particularly positive for these sectors. Tech Mahindra, for instance, has made strategic moves under the leadership of its new CEO, Mohit Joshi, to realign with the industry's pace-setters.

Moreover, the automotive sector, and especially Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., is propelling the group's growth engine forward. A remarkable year-on-year net profit increase of 60.6% was reported in the December quarter, with revenues ascending by 16%, outperforming analyst expectations.

Automotive Dominance and EV Innovation

In the fiercely competitive SUV market, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. holds a commanding 21% revenue market share. The company is not only a leader in the SUV domain but also dominates the light commercial vehicle and tractor categories. With a concerted push into the electric vehicle (EV) market, Mahindra plans to roll out six new electric SUV models in the coming years, complementing its existing XUV 400 EV.

CEO Shah expressed optimism about these upcoming EVs, hinting that they are set to rival and perhaps even surpass global standards. Test drives of some of the models have yielded positive feedback, bolstering confidence in their market potential.

Shares of Mahindra & Mahindra surged to a record high following the announcement of their exceptional quarterly results, showcasing the market's confidence in the group's strategic direction and growth potential.
