Mahindra & Mahindra and Skoda Auto VW India person already signed a bid of nonbinding memoranda of knowing (MoUs) implicit the past fewer months. The study states that a fewer much were expected to beryllium signed astatine the extremity of this month. However, the discussions look to person slowed down.

The VW Group’s India concern is looking for a spouse to stock improvement costs and risks. But, arsenic per the latest reports, Mahindra is reluctant to compromise, fixed its stronger presumption successful the home market.

It appears that Mahindra, with its past acquisition of negotiating a associated task with Ford, is playing it harmless this time. That being said, the VW Group is said to person agreed to stock components of the MEB level with Mahindra.

Couldn't beryllium happier to hear. We request VW and Skoda to beryllium present to enactment and fixed however M&M utilized to woody the JVs, earnestly uncertainty if they had, had they chosen to spell up with this JV. In my Opinion, TML and VW would beryllium a perfect match. Where TML tin summation entree to immoderate coagulated powertrain tech and VW tin person entree to debased outgo manufacturing. Let's see.

This perchance is going the aforesaid way arsenic the Ford JV discussions. One are wherever the planetary giants are trying hard is to lucifer the frugality and sourcing powerfulness of M&M. I doubt, Mahindra are acceptable to stock it with a planetary spouse successful the existent scenario.

One thing, I noticed from the begining of the quality announcement is the requirment for equity ingestion to VW India and precise small astir merchandise collaboration. Two areas that would person complemented some the companies is:

1. VW requires a beardown diesel for its portfolio - Skoda Kodiaq and Tiguan some necessitate bully diesels arsenic portion of the portfolio successful summation to their Petrol powertrains

2. M&M requires a hybrid powertrain. They could person tapped into VW's expertise to physique competent hybrid powertrains for XUV700 and ScorpioN

Though I person bully respect for the caller products that Mahindra person been launching, the mode they grip JVs has ever been terrible. It is bully for VW-Skoda India that the JV hasn't materialized (yet)

Mahindra tin either engulf a institution and wholly dissolve that company's marque & civilization oregon beryllium a atrocious spouse and resistance the different institution down. Just look astatine the database of companies that person suffered the Mahindra effect - Renault, Ford, Kinetic, Maini, Ssangyong, Pininfarina, Satyam... The database keeps growing!

The full contented is that with truthful overmuch wealth they invested to make the technology, it works retired if they stock it, they volition prevention connected costs with economies of scale. For that they request a spouse and Mahindra expressed tendency to instrumentality technology. That mode VW tin recoupe wealth mislaid connected each car they sell. Now a spouse tin put wealth bargain cannot assistance successful scaling parts consumption.

Q:
Did Mahindra-Ford ever travel with a merchandise launch? If not past wherefore are we bashing conscionable Mahindra here? The JV ne'er materialized, it failed successful discussions. Ford could beryllium the 1 who independently decided to battalion up India operations!

Regarding VW Mahindra JV, determination person been batch of flip flops reported by media, let?s hold for an authoritative connection oregon a JV merchandise motorboat earlier jumping to conclusions.
