Likely to be the New Flexible Architecture (NFA), which is a monocoque platform

Our sister publication Autocar Professional had exclusively reported that Mahindra has begun work on a new multi-energy platform and that the new Chakan factory would be making new models based on this new platform. Called the New Flexible Architecture (NFA), this monocoque platform will spawn a number of new models from the Indian SUV specialist, which will be capable of utilising petrol, diesel, hybrid and all-electric powertrains. The NFA platform will likely make its debut in a concept.

We had also reported earlier than the next-gen Mahindra Bolero is scheduled to arrive in 2026 and likely be based on the NFA. This is corroborated by the company’s plans, which state that 2 mid-cycle facelifts and 1 all-new model will launch next year in India. That the Bolero EV, likely to be based on the same NFA platform, will also arrive in 2026 is hinted at by the brand’s Q4 2024 earnings presentation.

Mahindra plans to have capacity of 1.2 lakh NFA models per year of at its Chakan plant, and is planning a new greenfield plant for FY2028. The brand has also mentioned that it is planning to increase production capacity for the Mahindra Thar Roxx and XUV 3XO in FY2026 by up to 3,000 units.

Of the 9 new ICE (internal combustion engine) and 7 EVs planned by the SUV-maker by 2030, Mahindra has launched the XUV 3XO and the Thar Roxx, along with the BE 6 and the XEV.9e, last year. This means that there are still 12 new models in the passenger vehicle space – 7 ICE models and 5 EVs – expected by the brand by the end of the decade.
