Mahindra, one of the founding fathers of the Mahindra group visited United States of America
as the chairman of the Indian Supply Mission. In America Mr. K C Mahindra met Barney Roos
inventor of the general purpose rugged vehicle or known by the name of Jeep and had a flash
of inspiration: a vehicle which has proved itself useful and reliable in the world war is the ideal
kind of wheels which India needs for its rural Indian roads and for taking the country on the
road for development and progress. Soon after action followed thought and Mahindra brothers
joined hands with a gentleman called Ghulam Mohammed ad as a result on October 2nd 1945

manufactures special transport vehicles for Indian Defence forces. Mahindra and Mahindra has

9. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS:
Automotive industy introduction:
Automotive industry is the key driver of any growing economy. Due to its
India’s Automobile Background
10. deep forward and backward connections with almost every segment of the
economy, the industry has a strong and positive multiplier effect and thus
propels progress of a nation.
The automotive industry comprises of the automobile and the auto
component sectors. It includes passenger cars; light, medium and heavy
commercial vehicles; multi‐utility vehicles such as jeeps, scooters, motor‐
cycles, three wheelers, tractors, etc; and auto components like engine
parts, drive and transmission parts, suspension and braking
parts, electrical, body and chassis parts; etc.
The Indian automotive industry has made rapid strides since de‐licensing
and opening up of the sector in 1991. It has witnessed the entry of several
new manufacturers with the state‐of‐art technology, thus replacing the
monopoly of few manufacturers.
11. The norms for foreign investment and import of technology have also been
liberalized over the years for manufacture of vehicles. At present, 100%
foreign direct investment (FDI) is permissible under the automatic route in
this sector, including passenger car segment.
Overall Indian Automobile Industry has shown marginal growth in FY 2012‐13 compare to
last FY 2011‐12.
12. According to Autobei Autobei Consulting Consulting Group (ACG), Production Production
and Domestic Domestic sales has registered registered growth of 1.20% and 2.61%, however
however
export is negative growth due to negative global environment and fluctuation.
One of the hot spot in world automotive industry is Indian car market. Indian car industry is
going thru turbulent times in
13. now. Car sales is down by more than 6% in FY 2012‐13 compare to last year of FY 2011‐12.
The main reasons are high
interest rates, fuel price, high inflation, low movement in other sectors etc. Utility vehicle
segment is having maximum
growth in this segment. Following graphs shows figures of passenger vehicles domestic sales
over the period of march –
December 2012. M&M has shown a growth of almost 27% during FY 2012 ‐13 where as Tata
Motors has shown a negative growth of 15% during the same period.
The industry analysis shows the growth of automotive industry as a whole. Even if the market
feels saturated for a new player, although if strong to compete will sustain. Even in high
inflation and higher interest rate period the sales have not been hampered much as you can see
14. in the picture above a constant growth. Hence the growing automotive sector has a bright
future in the coming days.
Michael Porters five forces model analysis:
The Threat of Entry of New Competitors:
Mahindra and Mahindra faces the challenge of entry of new competitors in the market. New
automobile manufacturers have come to the Indian automobile industry and many are waiting
in the line for .e.g. Hyundai Motors and Ford Motors and Kia Motors. To face the challenge
with force, Mahindra and Mahindra is positioning its brands very strongly and competitively in
the market. It is investing very huge capital in the new and existing businesses and is also
diversifying at the same time for e.g. acquisition of Satyam computers by tech Mahindra and
venturing out by the Mahindra group in hospitality industry with Mahindra holidays.
Competitive Rivalry:
Mahindra and Mahindra have big competitors in each and every key sector in which they are
present. Their main competition is in the form of the TATA group which is present in almost
every sector where Mahindra and Mahindra is directly or indirectly involved, whether that
15. sector is defence, Information Technology, Hospitality, Automobiles, Insurance etc. Apart
from TATA, Mahindra group also have small and big competitors in other sectors also.
Mahindra and Mahindra is advertising very aggressively to showcase its products, offering the
same at very competitive rates, offering better value to the consumer and providing world class
products at affordable rates to survive in this cut-throat competition. Competitive rivalry can
also be handled by bringing in innovation in the business environment.
Threat of Substitute Products / Services:
The threat of substitute products or services also creates sometimes big problems for a business
and thus can affect business environment of a country as a whole. Sometimes a business fails
due to substitute goods and services offered by its competitors. Mahindra group has faced all
the challenges put across them against their products by substitute goods as products of
Mahindra and Mahindra provide value for their users at competitively low costs.
Bargaining Power of Consumers:
The consumers buying power in case of Mahindra and Mahindra is very low as the products or
services provided by Mahindra and Mahindra are unique in themselves and there are not many
substitutes in the market for the same. Mahindra and Mahindra has become the third largest
tractor manufacturing company in the world and so in this case a farmer wanting to purchase
the tractor will purchase the same without any negotiations as he knows that he is purchasing
the world’s best tractor at a very competitive price.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
Mahindra and Mahindra does not believe in extracting money from the users of its products but
charges for cost of inputs like innovation, labour, technical innovation and other raw materials.
Mahindra and Mahindra does not bargain with the consumers but charges only according to the
value of the products or services provided to the customers or the end users.
Conclusion of porter’s analysis:
The above analysis leads us to the conclusion that Mahindra and Mahindra have transformed
themselves into a very successful business enterprise and have evolved themselves as a very
important constituent of the Indian and the global economy. Mahindra and Mahindra have
16. expanded themselves into various industrial sectors like defence, automobile, hospitality etc.
and have diversified at the same time. Mahindra and Mahindra has shown that how the various
changes in the business environment can be explored and exploited by any business for its own
gain and the gain of the economy as a whole.
Summary of Management Discussion
Mahindra Group is the parent company of Mahindra & Mahindra limited. Mahindra
Group has a total of 132 companies across the globe which contributes aggregate revenue of
US $ 15.4 billon. As the year 2011-2012 was a year of different shocks it was a challenging
period for Mahindra Group as a whole. In December 2012, the Group had aspired to make
Mahindra one of the world’s 50 most admired brands who help people everywhere to rise.
The Automotive and farm sector of M&M continued to work with great customer focus. The
automotive companies along with the other subsidiary companies achieved global sales of
873646 vehicles and tractors.
In India, in spite of such challenging macro-economical environment both domestic and global
the Indian Automotive industry still recorded a growth of 6.2% (excluding 2 wheelers). The
growth of passenger segment vehicles was 4.7% with domestic sale crossing 2.6 million
vehicles and within this segment the passenger car grew 2.2% and MUV’s grew 10.0% , UV’s
recorded a growth of 16.5%, CV’s grew by 18.2% and the MHCV’s by 7.9%.
17. The growth across several segments in the Indian Automotive Industry was significantly lower
than predicted by SIAM (Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers) at the beginning of the
year. This happened due to many unpredicted reasons such as inflation, hike in fuel prices,
lower economic growth , high financing rates etc.
The adverse impact on this industry was also due to short supply of labour unrest at major
automotive manufacturers, capacity storage in various links of automotive supply chain and
also the disruption of the component supply from Thialand which suffered the onslaught of the
floods.
Even after so many uncertainties the Automotive Industries have managed to grow a few
percent not according to what predicted although with less of uncertainty and more of growth
this industry has immense capacity to grow manifold times.

25. Conclusion:
Business valuation is a processed set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of an
owner’s interest in a business.Valuation is used by financial market participants to determine
the price they are willing to pay or receive to perfect a sale of a business. In addition to
estimating the selling price of a business, the same valuation tools are often used by business
appraisers to resolve disputes related to estate and gift taxation, divorce litigation, allocate
business purchase price among business assets, establish a formula for estimating the value of
partners' ownership interest for buy-sell agreements, and many other business and legal
purposes.
Business valuation will have its own limitations but this helps you to value a firm decide
whether to invest in it or note. Some of these methods are actually practiced in big companies
to make a lot of financial decisions.
