Mahindra & Mahindra Limited
(M&M) is the flagship company of the Rs. 6200 crore Mahindra Group, which has a significant presence in key sectors of the Indian economy. A consistently high performer, M&M is one of the most respected companies in the country.
Set up in 1945 to make general-purpose utility vehicles for the Indian market, M&M soon branched out into manufacturing agricultural tractors and light commercial vehicles (LCVs). The company later expanded its operations from automobiles and tractors to secure a significant presence in many more important sectors. The company has, over the years, transformed itself into a Group that caters to the Indian and overseas markets with a presence in vehicles, farm equipment, information technology, trade and finance related services, and infrastructure development.
An organizational restructuring exercise in 1994 arising from a Business Process Re-engineering programme resulted in the core activities of manufacturing utility and light commercial vehicles and agricultural tractors remaining with the flagship company.
All other activities were spun off into separate entities and organized under business groups. These groups are in the areas of Hospitality, Trade and Financial Services, Automotive Components, Information Technology, Telecom and Infrastructure Development.
Today M&M has two main operating divisions: The Automotive Division manufactures utility vehicles, light commercial vehicles and three wheelers.
The Tractor (Farm Equipment) Division makes agricultural tractors and implements that are used in conjunction with tractors. This division has also ventured into manufacturing of industrial engines.
M&M employs around 12,000 people and has six state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities spread over 500,000 square meters. M&M has also set up two satellite plants for tractors manufacturing. It has 49 sales offices that are supported by a network of over 650 dealers across the country. This network is connected to the company's plants by an extensive IT infrastructure.
M&M's outstanding manufacturing and engineering skills allow it to constantly innovate and launch new products for the Indian market. Proof of this expertise is the launch of the Bolero, Scorpio, a new-generation utility vehicle, and the Arjun, a sophisticated agricultural tractor.
The Company's commitment to technology-driven innovation is reflected in the setting up of the Mahindra Research Valley, a facility that will house the Company's engineering research and product development wings, under one roof.
The M&M philosophy of growth is centered on its belief in people. As a result, the company has put in place initiatives that seek to reward and retain the best talent in the industry. M&M is also known for its progressive labour management practices.
In the community development sphere, the company has implemented several programs that have benefited the people and institutions in its areas of operations.
