India’s Mahindra and Mahindra: Can it Become Global Leader in Tractor Business?

OR

Abstract:
Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) has recently forged a joint venture with Jiangsu Yueda Yancheng Company Ltd to manufacture tractors for export and the local Chinese agricultural market. M&M had a presence in China in the form of a joint venture with Jiangling Motor Company Group. M&M foresees that China will prove to be a significant platform to propel M&M exports to countries where the demand for agricultural equipment is untapped at Chinese cost structures. The main reasons for M&M entering into the Chinese market was the demand for powerful equipment, and increased Chinese expenditure in the agricultural market to meet the demand for rising food consumption. The case focuses on M&M's strategic initiatives to strengthen its position and establish itself as one of the leading manufacturers of tractors in the world.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To M&M's business in India as a leading tractor player.
• To M&M's Chinese joint venture initiatives.
• To strategic steps to tap the opportunities in the global market
