Mahindra Electric’s latest technology showcase. MESMA stands for Mahindra
Electric Scalable and Modular Architecture. The platform utilises cells from LG
Chemicals and with its unique design, it can be adjusted to different lengths
and widths to accommodate different kinds of vehicles including hatchbacks,
crossovers, sedans etc., while retaining the high efficiency and high
performance that it promises to deliver. Created in India’s first electric
vehicle innovation centre, the platform opens up a plethora of opportunities
for Mahindra Electric to synergize with other Mahindra Group companies like
Ssangyong, Pininfarina etc. and bring to market vehicles which are truly
