Mahindra Racing competes in the FIA Formula E World Championship. They entered the Championship in the inaugural 2014-2015 season as one of the ten founding teams.

From the second season, the team developed its own electric powertrain, the M2Electro, to power their quartet of electric racing cars. The M2Electro impressed out of the box, with Nick Heidfeld scoring the team's first podium in the opening round in Beijing. Bruno Senna had a second place podium finish in the first of the two season finale races in London. The M2Electro also impressed with its efficiency and reliability, contributing to seven double points finishes throughout the season.

Rookie Felix Rosenqvist joined as teammate to Nick Heidfeld. Mahindra Racing developed the new M3Electro car, which proved to be a competitive package, powering the team to its maiden win at the hands of Rosenqvist at the 2017 Berlin ePrix. The team also scored nine further podiums, three pole positions and two fastest lap awards. These results were underscored by Mahindra Racing's third place in the Teams’ Championship standings.

Drivers Felix Rosenqvist and Nick Heidfeld remained with Mahindra for the fourth season, piloting the M4Electro to two further victories, in Hong Kong and Marrakesh, and three pole positions. After a strong and encouraging start to the season, the team finished fourth overall in the team's championship, with Rosenqvist in the driver's title hunt for much of the season.

For Season Five, Felix Rosenqvist left the team to join the Chip Ganassi Racing team in IndyCar series and was replaced by former Dragon Racing driver Jérôme d'Ambrosio. Nick Heidfeld stepped down from his race seat to become a special advisor and official reserve driver for the squad and was replaced by former Manor and Sauber Formula 1 driver and DTM champion Pascal Wehrlein. Racing the M5Electro, the Mahindra drivers secured one win, two podiums, two fastest laps, a pole position and seven Super Pole appearances between them, finishing the Championship in sixth place.

Wehrlein and D'Ambrosio were announced as continuing with the team for Season 6 at a launch event in Germany in October 2019. On 24 June 2020 the team announced that Alex Lynn would replace Wehrlein for the remainder of the 2019/20 Season. The team finished the 2019–20 season ranking ninth on the constructors standings.{{cite news|url=https://www.evoindia.com/news/car-news-1/mahindra-racing-finishes-the-sixth-formula-e-season-in-ninth-position|last=Dcruze|first=George|title=Mahindra Racing finishes the sixth Formula E season in ninth position|date=14 August 2020|access-date=15 August 2020|archive-date=19 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200919015020/https://www.evoindia.com/news/car-news-1/mahindra-racing-finishes-the-sixth-formula-e-season-in-ninth-position|url-status=live}} D'Ambrosio would later announce his retirement from professional racing after the season to take on a team principal role at Venturi Racing.

In 2012, Mahindra Racing participated in the newly formed Moto3 class (250cc four-stroke) which replaced the 125cc class. The team utilized the Mahindra MGP3O motorcycle developed and built by Engines Engineering from the 2012 season.{{cite web |title=Mahindra Racing join hands with Swiss firm |url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/moto-gp/mahindra-racing-join-hands-with-swiss-firm |website=Sportskeeda |access-date=3 April 2024 |date=24 August 2012}} Danny Webb and Marcel Schrötter raced for the team in the first eight rounds of the Moto3 World Championship. The team scored its first Moto3 points at Le Mans on 20 May 2012, when Schrötter finished on a strong 12th position. Before the ninth round, at the Mugello Circuit, Schrötter and Team Mahindra parted ways. Riccardo Moretti, who had until then been racing for Mahindra in the CIV, stepped in for Schrötter. The first year of the new Moto3 four-stroke class proved challenging, and prompted the team into a change of direction.{{cite web|url=http://resources.motogp.com/files/results/2012/VAL/Moto3/RAC/worldstanding.pdf|title=GP Generali de la Comunitat Valenciana – Moto3 World Championship Classification|date=11 November 2012|access-date=11 April 2016|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|archive-date=23 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160423173204/http://resources.motogp.com/files/results/2012/VAL/Moto3/RAC/worldstanding.pdf|url-status=live}} In August 2012, Mahindra Racing announced a partnership with Suter Racing Technology to build an all-new MG3PO.{{cite web |title=Mahindra racing announces new partnership with Suter |url=https://www.apnnews.com/mahindra-racing-announces-new-partnership-with-suter/ |website=APN News |date=24 August 2012 |access-date=3 April 2024}} The team also announced that it would move its base from Italy to Switzerland.{{cite web |title=Mahindra Racing announces new drivers' line-up for 2013 season |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/racing/top-stories/mahindra-racing-announces-new-drivers-line-up-for-2013-season/articleshow/17159535.cms |website=The Times of India |access-date=3 April 2024 |date=9 November 2012}} In November of the same year, they announced that riders Efrén Vázquez and Miguel Oliveira would be racing for the team in the 2013 season.{{cite web |title=Mahindra Racing announces new drivers' line-up for 2013 season |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/mahindra-racing-announces-drivers-line-2372054 |website=Deccan Herald |access-date=3 April 2024 |language=en}}

The 2014 season saw some success for Mahindra, with their MGP3O recording three podiums – including a best-ever second-place finish by their customer team, Ambrogio Racing's rider Brad Binder at the German Grand Prix. The first podium of the season was secured by Mahindra Racing rider Miguel Oliveira at the Assen circuit in the Dutch TT. For the entire season, the team riders Oliveira and Andrea Migno regularly challenged at the front of the tight Moto3 pack. The MGP3O recorded six Top-4 finishes in the entire season, as Mahindra finished third overall in the Moto3 Constructors' rankings at the end of the 2014 season.

Following the conclusion of the 2014 season, Mahindra no longer ran their own team and concentrated instead on development of the Mahindra MGP3O racing motorcycle.
