Colombo, Sri Lanka — April 2025:
In a bold move to extend its global footprint, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML), a pioneering force in India’s commercial electric vehicle (EV) sector, has officially forayed into the Sri Lankan market. This strategic expansion is made possible through a significant partnership with Evolution Auto Private Limited – Sri Lanka, a joint venture formed between SLA Mobility and the Sensai Group.
This partnership is expected to play a key role in accelerating the adoption of electric mobility solutions in Sri Lanka, particularly in the last-mile transportation segment. Evolution Auto has been appointed as the authorized distributor of Mahindra’s electric three-wheeler range in Sri Lanka, marking a major milestone in MLMML’s global growth strategy.
Under this partnership, Evolution Auto will offer a full range of Mahindra’s electric three-wheelers tailored for urban and peri-urban transportation. The lineup includes:

The grand opening ceremony witnessed the presence of several prominent figures from both Mahindra and Evolution Auto.

With over 200,000 commercial EVs sold in India and a 24% market share in the L5 auto category, Mahindra is not just building vehicles — we are building sustainable ecosystems. This partnership is an important step towards transforming mobility in South Asia.”
She also highlighted the role Mahindra intends to play in enabling clean transportation solutions globally, especially in emerging markets where affordable and efficient mobility is vital for both economic and environmental progress.
This collaboration also includes plans for widespread dealership expansion across the island nation. Evolution Auto is set to open multiple outlets in key cities to ensure accessibility, after-sales support, and service for Mahindra’s EV range. The expansion aligns with Sri Lanka’s national green mobility goals, which aim to reduce the country’s carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
Sri Lanka’s government has also signaled strong support for EV adoption through favorable policies, incentives, and infrastructure development, making it an opportune time for Mahindra’s entry into the market.
