Mahindra & Mahindra provides update on BS III vehicles inventory

Following Supreme Court verdict on compliance with BS-IV

Mahindra & Mahindra announced that the total inventory of BS-III Vehicles that the Company had before the Supreme Court verdict was worth little over Rs.2,000 crore and the Company has been able to remove more than half of it at a discount of upto 15%. The Company and industry has incurred a loss because of the heavily discounted sale that it had to do on 30 March and 31 March 2017.

The Company still has an inventory of approximately 18,000 BS-III vehicles (two wheelers to trucks). The Company may be able to export some of these vehicles which will not incur much of a cost; and convert some of these vehicles to BS-IV, which will have a cost of as little as Rs.3,000-4,000 for some of the Small Commercial Vehicles to as much as Rs.2,00,000 for HCVs. Some of the vehicles can neither be exported nor converted to BS-IV.
