Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M) Is An Indian Multinational Automobile
It is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers by production in the Republic of India. It is a part of Mahindra Group, an Indian conglomerate. The company was founded in 1945 in Ludhiana as Mahindra & Mohammed by brothers K.C. Mahindra and J.C. Mahindra and Malik Ghulam Mohammed. After India gained independence and Pakistan was formed, Mohammed emigrated to Pakistan. The company changed its name to Mahindra & Mahindra in 1948. It is ranked #21 in the list of top companies of India in Fortune India 500 in 2011. Major competitors in the Indian market include Maruti Motors (a 60% owned subsidiary of Suzuki Motors from Japan), Tata Motors (fully owned by Tata Sons; Owner of British Jaguar Land Rover), Toyota, Mercedes-Benz (Merc) (Based in Poona, Maharastra in India; A subsidiary of Daimler AG from Germany) and others Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is one of the major automotive company of India. They initially had collaboration with Willys Overland Corporation to import and assemble jeeps in India. They are the market leaders in the utility vehicles segment. They are also a major player in the tractor manufacturing segment as well. They are the only sole Indian company to be a part of the top five tractor manufacturing companies in the world.Mahindra & Mahindra's automobile chapter dates back to 1947. Then it was only restricted to the assembling and importing of Willys Jeeps. However, shortly after that they started manufacturing their own light commercial vehicles. They were always very keen on working out their own indigenous technology. Their USP is their capability to manufacture vehicles with having very little technological help from foreign sources. They are very indigenous regarding this particular aspect. Their first indigenously developed sports utility vehicle was the "Scorpio".
However, it was only in 1994, that a specialized automotive division was created. This was done along with the organizational restructuring. Mahindra & Mahindra has four manufacturing plants. Out of them three are located in Maharastra and one in Andhra Pradesh. The three manufacturing units in Maharastra are in Mumbai, Nasik and Igatpuri. The first two deal with multi-utility vehicles and the third one deal with engines. The fourth plant is located in Zaheerabad in Andhra Pradesh. This one deals with the manufacture of light commercial vehicles and three wheelers. They also have a very strong network of dealers, sales offices, service stations etc. Even their R&D division is equally strong. Mahindra & Mahindra has established a very strong market base in the urban and semi-urban areas. Their multi-utility vehicles are very popular among people there. They also export their products to other countries as well.
Mahindra & Mahindra has recently entered into a joint venture with Renault, an auto manufacturing company from France. It would be called Mahindra Logan, they would be manufacturing Logan's in India. However, the cars will only be available from mid 2007. They are planning to sell somewhere around 50,000 cars in a year. Although, they haven't yet come out with a price structure for the
vehicle. They would be competing with Honda, Fiat, Hyundai and Ford in the C-segment of the Indian automobiles market.

History:Mahindra & Mohammed was originally incorporated in 1945 by the brothers J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra and Malik Ghulam Muhammad in Ludhiana, Punjab to trade steel. Following the Partition of India in 1947, Malik Ghulam Muhammad left the company and emigrated to Pakistan where he became the first finance minister of the new state (and later the third Governor General in 1951). In 1948, K.C. Mahindra changed the company's name to Mahindra & Mahindra. Building on their expertise in the steel industry, the Mahindra brothers began trading steel with UK suppliers. They also won a contract to manufacture Willys Jeeps in India and began producing them in 1947. By 1956, the company was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and by 1969 the company had entered the world market as an exporter of utility vehicles and spare parts. Like many Indian companies, Mahindra responded to the restrictions of the Licence Raj by expanding into other industries. Mahindra & Mahindra created a tractor division in 1982 and a tech division (now Tech Mahindra) in 1986. It has continued to diversify its operations ever since through both joint ventures and greenfield investments By 1994, the Group had become so diverse that it undertook a fundamental reorganization, dividing into six Strategic Business Units: Automotive; Farm Equipment; Infrastructure; Trade and Financial Services; Information Technology; and Automotive Components (known internally as Systech)The new Managing Director, Anand Mahindra, followed this reorganization with a new logo in 2000 and the successful launch of the Mahindra Scorpio (a wholly indigenously designed vehicle) in 2002. Together with an overhaul in production and
manufacturing methods, these changes helped make the company more competitive, and since then the Group's reputation and revenues have risen noticeably. Currently, Mahindra & Mahindra is one of the 20 largest companies in IndiaIn 2009, Forbes ranked Mahindra among the top 200 most reputable companies in the world. In January 2011, the Mahindra Group launched a new corporate brand, Mahindra Rise, to unify Mahindra's image across industries and geographies The brand positions Mahindra products and services as aspirational, supporting customers' ambitions to 'Rise.' In April 2012, the Mahindra Group showed interest in purchasing the bankrupt automobile company Saab, and actually placed several bids for Saab, though was outbid by Saab's new owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
