Homegrown auto major Mahindra & Mahindra on Friday said it will invest Rs 1,500 crore at its Nasik and Igatpuri plants in Maharashtra for development of a new product codenamed ‘U321’.

The proposed investment at the two plants would cover development and manufacture of the company’s new product codenamed U321, M&M said in a statement.

The investment in the Nasik plant will be towards manufacture of vehicles, while investment in the Igatpuri plant will be for manufacture and supply of engines, it added.
