The rumors began after a report by The Economic Times. It said Mahindra might separate its tractor business, passenger vehicles (including electric cars) and trucks into different companies. However, Mahindra denied these claims and said it has already shared all important information with the stock exchange. The company will continue to be transparent in the future.
Mahindra’s Auto and Tractor Performance
Between 2021 and 2025, Mahindra’s automotive business saw quite a bit of growth. The revenue coming from autos went up noticeably, moving from just over a third to more than half. Earnings before interest and taxes — or EBIT — also jumped significantly, climbing from 13% to around 42%. This shows the auto business is doing well.
The tractor business hasn’t done as well lately. Its slice of the revenue pie shrank from about a third down to just over one-fifth. Earnings also took a hit, dropping quite sharply from nearly three-quarters to just over a quarter.
Meanwhile, SUVs are selling a lot better. In 2021, around 190,000 SUVs rolled off the line, but by 2025, that number shot up to more than half a million. Overall, auto sales hit close to a million units during this period. Tractor sales didn’t fall behind either, rising from just over 350,000 to more than 420,000.
Why This Matters
These reports came soon after Tata Motors decided to split its passenger and commercial vehicle businesses. This news created talks about similar moves in the auto industry. But Mahindra made it clear that it is not planning any such split right now.
Mahindra is still working on growing its trucks, SUVs, tractors and electric vehicles all at once. It seems this way of doing things is meant to keep the company strong in India’s busy market.
