Mahindra Defence Systems

Shouldn't this page mention Mahindra Defence Systems which provides and develops (amongst other things), the MM 550 XDB, Striker, Rakshak and armoured Scorpio 4x4's for the Indian Army? (Semi-Lobster 2:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC))

And, no mention about the unannounced Mahindra Axe which is kind of an Indian Hummer. Please include its details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Techroach (talk • contribs) 10:14, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Uh, no. This stuff belongs in a separate article. This is the article for the automotive division only. Let's try to keep the standards up, folks.--Rhombus (talk) 02:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

The page reads like a company brochure.

Fixed misleading paragraph, M&M is not selling vehicles in the U.S. that are approved for use on highways and public roads. AFAIK, only "off-road" use vehicles (tractors, etc.) are available.136.2.1.101 (talk) 14:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

"60 years of business excellence". Sounds like the company wrote this page. I'd like a more objective view of the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.3.228.87 (talk) 17:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Yep, it still reads like a brochure (and a not very good one at that). I've tagged the article and deleted oodles of unsubstantiated boasting. I also notice the inappropriately capitalized division names. Apart from being wrong it comes across as though somebody was trying to sound very corporate. Also, a lot of the material belongs in the Mahindra Group article. This article is about the automotive division only. Overall this article needs a lot of work.--Rhombus (talk) 02:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Mention of Mr. Ghulam Mohamed

The article should mention that the company was renamed from Mahindra and Mohammed to Mahindra and Mahindra, after Mr. Ghulam Mohammed left the group and went to Pakistan, and became Pakistan's first Finance Minister. This change is not immediately understood in the writing used.

Hephail (talk) 14:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

If it's going to say that, it needs to be referenced. You can't just put something in an article without a source.--Rhombus (talk) 02:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Products discussed

The entire range of products, by Mahindra & Mahindra, such as the Mahindra Voyager, India's first Multi Purpose Van, are missed out in this article. The entire range is provided on this Mahindra newsletter.

Image copyright problem with Image:Jeep FC-160 CowlAndChassis.jpg

The image Image:Jeep FC-160 CowlAndChassis.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Expansion of M&M "Jeep" production entry

Reference the following entry in §1, Automotive of the Complete knock down (CKD) article.

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited in India began its business in 1947 with assembling CKD Jeeps. Mahindra expanded their operations to include domestic manufacture of Jeep vehicles with a high level of local content under license from Kaiser Jeep Corporation and later American Motors (AMC). By 2005, Mahindra had become the largest producer of SUVs in India.

I think it would improve this article to include and expand the history of M&M as relating to CKD assembly of "Jeeps" and the later production of complete licensed "Jeeps". From my personal employment related understanding (OR etc.) it was a major operation, however I have no sourced and referenced information. This would probably be better included from Indian sources. Please help improve this important article!--TGC55 (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Mahindra & Mahindra is only an automotive arm of Mahindra Group

The page has mutated into a mahindra group brouchure. Even the editors have not paid attention to infobar at the top-

This page is about the company. For the entire conglomerate, see Mahindra Group. For other uses, see Mahindra (disambiguation).

What's the need of inserting Mahindra finance and Kotak Mahindra Bank into this? I propose extensive clean-up of unnecessary content from this page. Any other info about the conglomerate must go into Mahindra Group.

PratyushG 15:29, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Kotak Mahindra Bank is not part of Mahindra Group

At present Mahindras only hold 3.25% of the kotak Mahindra Bank, that too in personal capacity not as Mahindra Group.

Reference

PratyushG 15:46, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I concur that info about Mahindra Group needs to be removed. Also, please post you comments at the bottom of talk pages, and try not to make two sections on the same topic. - BilCat (talk) 16:22, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I am going ahead with the clean-up. I would keep in mind to append comments at the bottom. Whereas I still don't see how two sections posted by me are the same. One is about correct and related info on wrong page. The other is about wrong info. PratyushG 18:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Proposed merge with Mahindra Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors

• Does not seem to be notable on its own. - MrX 14:41, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
• Should Merge Mahindra & Mahindra is the name of the company that manufactures Jeeps (Indian)< SUV, MUV, Tractors, Three wheelers and pick-up trucks under two divisions known as AD (Auto Division) and FD (Farm Division). It owns a few other subsidiaries like Two-Wheelers, MTBL etc. which in fact are separate companies by registration. So that wiki page Mahindra Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors (section) should be merged with this one. It looks like an elaborate advertisement section that got cropped into a separate article. --Ask27 (talk) 15:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
• Mahindra Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors Merge It can be merged with Mahindra & Mahindra. There is no need of separate page for this since it is not different entity under Mahindra Group. Actually it comes under Mahindra & Mahindra.
• There seems to be support to merge. Therefore, propose going ahead in 7 days if no further objections. If adding further comments please do so in this section rather than starting separate ones for each comment. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 13:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

 Done merger carried out on 29 September 2015

Biased Controversy Section

The person whoever wrote the Controversy Section has used totally biased language towards the article subject, any company isn't forced to withdraw their buisness from any nation under pressure from other companies or organisation, it's their choice to make buisness decision and to think about their loss & gain. But the section totally makes it look like not withdrawing the buisness from a part of world is Warcrime to the whole universe. Atleast use subtle language when you try to add negative info about the subject. King Restyler (talk) 19:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

I do agree, not just it, but he undone my edit fixing the issue saying that a "Reuters article is not referenced by the study", but this is a lie, the study only references the article Meganinja202 (talk) 06:59, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I have adjusted the section with the addition of the Reuters article. The language referencing the study is not biased (certainly not within the meaning of WP:NPOV) and is in fact boiler plate language used in dozens (maybe hundreds) of articles. To suggest that stating plain facts about a company's business decision amounts to an accusation of war crimes is wrong; over 1 000 companies have withdrawn from Russia since the invasion began, it's not a controversial point of view that refusal to do so is an act of defiance against the international community. To suggest otherwise or to diminish the significance of the international response would be WP:UNDUE. Also, when making edits to a main article, please try to use proper English grammar and punctuation and to avoid redundancies and tautologies. Equilibrial (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

The one that is not caring about straight plain facts is you, you are Cherry picking the info and assuming only what you want to accept, the article is from 10 years ago during a negotiation that may have failed, also there is no further info that shows the presence of M&M in Russia, in fact, looking for further info, there is more proofs showing the reverse, like Supporting peaceful protests against Russian Invasion .

If you dont care about the facts that dont agree with you, then you are going against WP:AFG Meganinja202 (talk) 21:34, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

This is incorrect and you have avoided replying to what I have put forth with regard to WP:UNDUE and WP:NOR. Cherry picking is not a Wikipedia policy (nor have I engaged in any such thing) and your implied assertion that I have breached WP:AFG is baseless. Unfortunately, you are acting in bad faith by refusing a sensible compromise.

The fact that the Reuters article was published in 2012 has already been stated in the article. Whether or not the "negotations failed" is your completely unsupported conjecture. I am referencing a Yale University study. You are engaging in impermissible original research and is distorting the source material by trying to frame the issue in terms that are unduly favorable to M&M. Unless you can make legitimate arguments referencing Wikipedia policies, your edits cannot stand. Equilibrial (talk) 08:21, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
