Mahindra & Mahindra said on Wednesday that it will jointly invest $ 900 million (nearly Rs 4,927 crore) with its Korean subsidiary SsangYong Motor Company to develop products over the next four years.
“We will be investing $ 900 million in four years for development of products jointly with SsangYong,” M&M President, Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors, Pawan Goenka said today.
This is apart from Rs 5,000 crore investment the company has planned for a three year time period ending 2014, he added.
When asked about how the company plans to raise finances for the joint investment, Goenka said the expenditure to be incurred in next one and one-and-a-half years will be a mix of fresh equity, debt and from internal accruals.
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) had acquired 70 per cent stake in SsangYong Motor Company (SMC) in March 2011 for which it had shelled out $ 463 million (about Rs 2,105 crore).
Mahindra is India’s premier utility vehicle (UV) manufacturer. It rolls out cars, pick-ups, tractors, motor cycles and commercial vehicles.
