Net profit at M&M and Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturing Ltd contracted to Rs 918 crore from Rs 1,238 crore a year ago while revenue and other income decreased to Rs 12,997 crore from Rs 13,551 crore a year ago.
M&M saw its sales drop by 26.93 per cent to 15,881 units in December 2013. Last year also the company had shut down its tractor plants at Jaipur and Rudrapur for five days and two days, respectively, due to inventory pile up amidst falling sales.
The Mahindra group's Igatpuri plant becomes the first in India to be declared carbon-neutral. Ashish Narsale / Rediff.com finds out how this was achieved.
The company announced on July 11 that it would stop production at its automotive plants for a period ranging from 1 to 8 days during the remaining period of the month.
