Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) was established in 1945 as Mahindra & Mohammed. Later on, after the partition of India, one of the partners - Ghulam Mohammad - returned to Pakistan, where he became Finance Minister. As a result, the company was renamed to Mahindra & Mahindra in 1948. M&M started its operation as a manufacturer of general-purpose utility vehicles. It assembled CKD jeeps in 1949. Over the passing years, the company expanded its business and started manufacturing light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and agricultural tractors.
Apart from agricultural tractors and LCVs, Mahindra & Mahindra also showed its dexterity in manufacturing army vehicles. Soon, it started its operations abroad, through its plants set up in China, the United Kingdom and the USA. M&M partnered with companies prominent in the international market, including Renault SA, International Truck and Engine Corporation, USA, in order to mark its global presence. M&M also started exporting its products to several countries across the world. Subsequently, it set up its branches including Mahindra Europe Srl (based in Italy), Mahindra USA Inc., Mahindra South Africa and Mahindra (China) Tractor Co. Ltd.
At the same time, M&M managed to be the largest manufacturer of tractors in India, by holding leadership in the market of the country, for around 25 years. The company is an old hand in designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing tractors as well as farm implements. It made its entry to the passenger car segment in India, with the manufacture of Logan (mid-size sedan) in April 2007, under the Mahindra Renault collaboration. Soon after the considerable success of Logan, M&M started launching a wide range of LCVs and three wheelers as well as SUVs including Scorpio and Bolero. In the present time, Bolero has gained immense popularity in India. It is one of the most opted vehicles in its class.
