Mahindra Completes Purchase of Navistar's India Joint Ventures
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Navistar International Corporation announced that Mahindra has completed its purchase of the Navistar Group's stake in Mahindra Navistar Automotives Ltd. and Mahindra Navistar Engines Pvt Ltd.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M) and Navistar International Corporation announced that Mahindra has completed its purchase of the Navistar Group's stake in Mahindra Navistar Automotives Ltd. (MNAL) and Mahindra Navistar Engines Pvt Ltd. (MNEPL). The deal has received regulatory approval in India, and Mahindra has now taken complete ownership of operations and will continue to sell MNAL and MNEPL products.
Navistar announced in December 2012 its intention to exit the joint ventures as part of its "Drive to Deliver" turnaround strategy, which is focused on strengthening its North American core businesses and pursuing near-term initiatives to improve the company's return on invested capital performance.
As announced in December 2012, the agreement allows Navistar to continue sourcing components from India while Mahindra would continue to provide engineering services to Navistar. The Navistar group will continue to support M&M through license agreements and extend necessary support to MNAL and MNEPL for the purposes of business continuity.
M&M reaffirmed that it is fully committed to the truck and engine companies and would focus on further leveraging synergies between these two businesses and the Mahindra Group in order to make the commercial vehicles business a success. The truck company recently launched a range of new models including the 25T Tipper with Bogie suspension and integrated applications like 31T Coal Haulage Tipper and Transit Mixer. Future plans include the launch of refrigerated trucks on the MN25 platform which is a fast growing market. Mahindra, for its truck business, has 59 dealers and nearly a thousand service points across India.
