Mahindra has beaten popular global brands like Ford Motor, Hyundai Motor and Kia to become the 11th most valuable carmaker in the world, according to Companies Market Cap. Only Mahindra, Maruti and Tata are among the Indian carmakers to make it to the list of 50 most valuable carmakers in the world. The list is compiled based on metrics like market cap, market value, revenue and more. Mahindra is valued at $43.2 billion (roughly converted to ₹36.68 thousand crore).
Reacting to the achievement, Anand Mahindra said that all previous global carmakers Mahindra has been associated with have helped it become one of the most valuable carmakers. Mahindra took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “In 1991, when the Indian economy opened up, the world believed there were scant chances of our survival as an independent automaker. We sought out Stellantis (Peugeot—for engine knowhow) Ford and Renault for knowledge on how to build modern cars. And we are grateful for their partnerships. So I have to admit to a tinge of gratification at seeing this ranking.”
