The new centre of excellence will be a part of network that includes the Mahindra Design Studio in Mumbai and Pininfarina Design at Turin in Italy.
The company said Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (MADE) is a strategic enhancement of its design capabilities and renews its commitment to bring sophisticated, authentic SUVs with an unmissable presence.
Executive Director Rajesh Jejurikar said the company is poised to enter a new, exciting era to build upon its 75 years of automotive history to bring unique customer centric products in Indian and global markets.
