Mahindra expects drop in production, sales volume in last quarter
- Mahindra has said its tractor operations and three-wheeler production is unaffected with the supply disruption.
Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) is expecting reduction in production and sales volume at its automotive division and in its wholly-owned subsidiary in the last quarter of the current fiscal due to global supply shortage of micro-processors.
M&M said it is engaging closely with its auto components supplier Bosch and assessing likely production loss.
"The operations of the company in the automotive sector will be affected by the global supply shortage of micro-processors (semiconductors) used in electronic control unit (ECUs) which is supplied by Bosch," Mahindra said in a regulatory filing.
