Anand Mahindra has spent the last decade telling anyone who would listen that the future of mobility is electric, rural and Indian. In 2026, all three elements are converging at once, and these 17 photographs document the moment the vision becomes reality.
The centrepiece is the new Mahindra EV manufacturing plant in Pune, which began full production in January 2026 and is already running at 130 per cent capacity to meet demand for the BE 6e and XEV 9e models. Mahindra walks us through the production floor — past robotic welding stations, battery assembly cells and the quality control bay — with the energy of someone who has been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
The agricultural technology division receives equal attention in these photographs. Mahindra's smart tractor initiative — integrating GPS precision farming with AI-based soil analysis — is being piloted across 200,000 farms in Maharashtra and Karnataka. An image of Mahindra sitting in a field in Vidarbha, tablet in hand, talking to a farmer about his soil data, is one of the most quietly powerful frames we have published.
Away from operations, there are board meetings, strategy sessions and one extraordinary image taken at the Mahindra family home in Mumbai: three generations of Mahindras around a dining table, the conversation clearly ranging far beyond business.
Anand Mahindra turns 71 in 2026. These 17 photographs suggest that he is only just getting started.
