The Mahindra e2o is manufactured at Mahindra's Bangalore factory. The company invested Rs 100 crore (US$18.5 million) on the development of the car and construction of a manufacturing plant with an annual capacity of 30,000 units a year, but Mahindra initially expects to sell only about 400 to 500 units a month, with Delhi accounting with about 150 to 200 units. Due to delays in the roll-out of the central government incentives, in November 2013 Mahindra announced it was scaling back plans to release of other electric vehicles, and reported that by mid November only about 400 units have been sold in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
The e2o was launched in India in March 2013 at a price between Rs 7.0 lakh (US$12,900) to Rs 8.5 lakh (US$15,670) depending on the city. In Delhi, the price is Rs 5.96 lakh (US$11,000) after a 29% subsidy granted by the city. The e2o is also available in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, and Kochi. Mahindra also plans to launch the e2o in the European market during the first quarter of 2014
