Mahindra officials said that the combined production capacity of the Verito and Vibe is pegged at 3,500 units a month in Nashik, Maharashtra with a production line flexible to produce any volume of either models. Mahindra also has the option of increasing the output if need be, by adding more shifts. The Verito sedan is clocking a consistent monthly sales of 1,000 units and the Mahindra hopes that the Verito Vibe could add more to that every month.

The company has invested 60 crore rupees to develop the Verito Vibe which took shape at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) located in Chennai.
