Following the deal, M&M will make a mandatory open offer to purchase up to 26 percent additional stake from public shareholders, in line with the Securities and Exchange Board of India's takeover norms. As part of the transition, SML's Board of Directors has been restructured. Vinod Sahay, currently President for Aerospace & Defence, Trucks, Buses and Construction Equipment at Mahindra Group, has been appointed Executive Chairman of SML Isuzu with effect from August 3, 2025.

The company aims to double its overall commercial vehicle share to 6 percent in the near term, targeting 10–12 percent by fiscal year 2031 and more than 20 percent by 2036.
