Mahindra & Mahindra moves closer to full control of SML Isuzu
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, an automobile manufacturing firm, has taken a significant step forward in consolidating its control over SML Isuzu , a Punjab-based commercial vehicle manufacturer , by executing amended agreements with Sumitomo Corporation and Isuzu Motors on July 29. The revisions refine terms related to key managerial appointments, parts procurement, and the renaming of the target company, stated Mahindra's regulatory filings. In April, Mahindra announced its plan to acquire a 58.96 per cent stake in SML Isuzu — 43.96 per cent from Sumitomo and 15 per cent from Isuzu — through separate share purchase agreements. Additionally, the company launched an open offer for a further 26 per cent stake at ₹1,554.60 per share. In the latest development, Mahindra, Sumitomo and SML have agreed to changes that include the appointment of a Mahindra nominee as a key managerial personnel (KMP) at SML on the deal's closing date. The amendments also modify the timelines and process for changing the company's name, and address the delivery schedule of critical parts currently supplied by Sumitomo. A similar amendment agreement has been signed with Isuzu, also confirming the appointment of a Mahindra nominee as KMP and changes to the name change process. These steps follow regulatory clearance from the Competition Commission of India and bring Mahindra closer to completing its biggest integration move in the commercial vehicle space. The company has updated the exchanges and uploaded the full details on its corporate website.

Mahindra Vision SXT teased again: Unveil date, all you need to know
Mahindra is once again stirring excitement in the lead-up to its annual product showcase on August 15. The company, so far, has shared a series of teasers, including the latest one of the Vision SXT concept. The new clip gives us a better look at the rear end of the vehicle, revealing distinctive elements like vertical tail lamps and two spare tyres mounted in the bed. All signs point to this being a rugged pickup concept that's likely based on the Scorpio-N platform, just like the Global Pik Up Concept that was shown in South Africa back in 2023. This is the second teaser for the Vision SXT. The first one offered a partial view of the bold, rugged front fascia. The Vision SXT is one of several upcoming concept vehicles Mahindra plans to showcase at its "Freedom NU" event on Independence Day. Mahindra Thar Roxx: Lifestyle-changing SUV | TOI Auto Others in the lineup include the Vision T, Vision S, and Vision X. All these concepts will be built on Mahindra's new NFA (New Flexible Architecture) platform, which has been developed at the company's Chakan facility. The architecture is engineered to accommodate a range of powertrains: from petrol and diesel to hybrid and full-electric setups. While the design details are still under wraps, the twin spare tyres and tough rear profile hint at the Vision SXT's off-road intent. It's expected to carry forward the same utility-first philosophy as the Global Pik Up, but potentially with more premium or electrified variants in the future.
