Mahindra announces merger of North American technical center with automotive division

New Delhi: Mahindra announced today its plan to merge Mahindra North American Technical Center (MNATC) with Mahindra Automotive North America (MANA), a move aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing organizational efficiency.

MNATC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mahindra Automotive North America, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mahindra Overseas Investment Company (Mauritius) Limited (MOICML), will integrate with MANA effective April 1, 2024.

While MANA and its subsidiaries specialize in the manufacturing and distribution of off-road vehicles, MNATC focuses on engineering, manufacturing, and sales within the same sector. The merger, as stated by the company, will not involve any financial transactions or issuance of shares by MANA to MNATC shareholders.

The strategic rationale behind this consolidation, according to regulatory filings, is to simplify the organizational structure and achieve operational efficiencies by reducing administrative overhead.

In regulatory filings, the company noted the submission and endorsement of a ‘Certificate of Merger of Domestic Corporations’ by the State of Delaware, USA, on March 29, 2024. Consequently, MNATC will cease to exist as a separate entity, thereby no longer being a subsidiary of MANA, MOICML, or the parent company, effective April 1, 2024.
