The investment is being made through the issue of common shares and class A non-voting shares of Japan's Mitsubishi Agricultural Machinery Co Ltd, and the deal is expected to close by Oct 1, the companies said in a joint statement.

Mahindra, which is the world's largest maker of tractors by volume, said the deal would help both companies cut cost and improve their supply chain.
