Speaking at the launch, Pravin

“At Mahindra, we have regularly created disruptions in the market and the
simultaneous launch of two all new Supro products is a clear validation of our
approach. A true ‘Make-in-India’ vehicle platform, both the vehicles are all
set to redefine their respective categories. Being a listening organisation, we
have taken a significant leap by comprehensively addressing the needs of the
customers in both people as well as cargo movement with the launch of Supro
platform. I am confident that as with other Mahindra products, the Supro will
go a long way in helping our customers prosper in life in line with our
Mahindra Rise philosophy”.

customer segments, the Supro Van and Supro Maxitruck are set to redefine norms with
their distinct offerings. It can be used

towns; as personal cum business application vehicle for traders; and as an
affordable tour & travel vehicle and an additional source of income for
farmers. The other new product from Supro platform, the Supro Maxitruck will
