This paper focuses on MHD mixed convection flow over an exponentially stretching vertical sheet. The effects of cross diffusion, non-uniform heat source/sink and NonDarcy porous medium are considered. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations reduced to linear partial differential equations by utilizing implicit finite difference scheme in combination with quasi-linearization technique. Further, the impact of various governing physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles in association with skin friction, heat transfer and mass transfer rates are analysed and discussed through graphs. The numerical results depict that non-Darcy porous medium enhances the velocity profile, skin friction and mass transfer rate while reduces the heat transfer rate. Numerical results are compared with previous available literature and found to be in excellent agreement.Keywords: magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), exponentially stretching surface, mixed convection, cross diffusion, non-similar solution, non-uniform heat source/ sink, darcy-Forchheimer (Non-Darcy) porous medium
