Addressing the reporters at the launch, Pawan Goenka, president, automotive and farm equipment sectors at M&M said, the Genio is first in the series of launches that will happen from the Xylo platform Mahindra launched the Xylo two years back. The new offering Goenka said will help the company further consolidate its position in the pick up truck segment, where the growth, in the absence of any new model launches, has been sluggish.

Mahindra plans to produce 2000 units of the Genio every month from its factory in Chakan near Pune. It has invested around 100 crore in developing the vehicle, the company said.
