Mahindra started its operations in the United States in 1988 when it exported 143 tractors from India to sell in the US market. Between 1988 and 1994, Rip Evans led the expansion of Mahindra's efforts in the US market. In 1994 Mahindra formed Mahindra USA and established its official headquarters in Tomball, Texas.
In 2015 Mahindra launched its Utility Vehicle (UTV) line in the North American market. Rip Evans credits Mahindra's strong growth recently to the introduction of the UTV line. He said that many new dealer partners took interest in the Mahindra line following the expansion into the powersports market.
Today Mahindra sells 11 tractor models in North America ranging from 19.4 to 120 horsepower. Mahindra focuses on the compact and subcompact tractor segments. Over time the Company has gradually increased the horsepower range of its tractors sold in the United States.
