With its well-planned layout, the new plant is capable of rolling-out a series of new products designed at Mahindra’s global technology Centres of Excellence in Finland, Japan and Turkey. The new plant is spread over 23 acres and has the capacity to manufacture 1,200 combine harvesters and 3,300 rice transplanters per year. The Pithampur plant, along with its dedicated supplier park, is eventually expected to provide employment to 1,100 persons.
