The vehicle is engineered around three customer assurances: Earn More, Run More, and Control More, combining fuel efficiency, a high-performance powertrain, connected technologies, and an industry-leading uptime guarantee.

The BLAZO i-TRK is powered by a 7.2-litre mPOWER engine delivering 320 HP and 1100 Nm of torque across 1100-1700 rpm, making Mahindra the only OEM in the segment offering this power level across all heavy commercial vehicle models. The engine uses TurboMAXX for higher boost pressure and OptiFuel, an intelligent air compressor that disengages when pressure is reached, to improve fuel economy. A heavy-duty 430 mm clutch with wear indicator is fitted on all 9-speed transmission models, and the truck is Aerokit-ready. Design-wise, it debuts Mahindra's INTELLICORE philosophy with a wide commanding grille, full-size headlamps, and a Skyline Blue body colour; the range comes in 3 colours.

India's freight and logistics sector is entering a new phase of growth, where technology, reliability, and operational efficiency will define competitive advantage, and older concepts such as resale will not be relevant. Our ambition is not only to build better trucks but also to shape the future of commercial mobility through innovation and strong customer partnerships. The BLAZO i-TRK embodies t

In a separate development, Mahindra noted that as of 29 July 2026, SML Mahindra Limited's board approved the acquisition of the Mahindra Truck and Bus Division from Mahindra & Mahindra on a slump sale basis, with the transaction expected to complete during FY2027, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Previously from Mahindra & Mahindra

Mahindra first announced the BLAZO i-TRK on August 13 with a promise of up to 10% better fuel efficiency and a 48-hour uptime guarantee backed by ₹10,000 per day. Today's release details the AI-driven iFuelSmart mode, iMAXX 2.0 telematics, and the ₹15 lakh profit claim.

Why this matters

For Indian transporters and fleet owners, the BLAZO i-TRK targets fuel and downtime, two of the biggest operating costs. Mahindra claims up to 10% better fuel efficiency and will pay ₹10,000 per day if repairs take longer than 48 hours, which could reduce unplanned losses. The AI-powered drive mode and connected fleet tools also aim to make fleet operation more predictable and profitable.
