The process $e^+e^- \to \pi^0\rho$ is described in the framework of the expanded NJL model in the energy region from 0.9 GeV to 1.5 GeV. The contribution of intermediate state with vector mesons $\omega(782), \,\,\phi(1020)$, and $\omega'(1420)$, where $\omega'$ is the first radial excitation of $\omega$ - meson was taken into account. Results obtained are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
