Mahindra Completes Purchase Of Navistar’s Stake In India Joint Ventures

Navistar announced in December 2012 its intention to exit the joint ventures as part of its "Drive to Deliver" turnaround strategy, focused on strengthening its North American core businesses and pursuing near-term initiatives to improve the company's return on invested capital performance. As announced in December 2012, the agreement allows Navistar to continue sourcing components from India while Mahindra would continue to provide engineering services to Navistar. The Navistar group will continue to support M&M through license agreements and extend necessary support to MNAL and MNEPL for the purposes of business continuity.
