 Develop in-house credit lending facility (lending through parent
companies subsidiary at low interest rate on time with easy procedure.
 Focus on Channels
 Ensure higher distributor margins and increase distribution network
 Implement custom hiring model: Mahindra tractors can be made
available on lease in partnership with government agencies as sugar mill
co-operative societies. Government partnership would impart a stamp of
reliability on Mahindra tractors and at the same time, provide -platform for
the farmers.
 Expand geographically
 Diversify Tractors - Monsoons correlation: Tractor sales, as already seen,
are driven by monsoons. A bad 3-months monsoon season generally
translates into large inventories. Geographical expansion would help
diversify tractors sales ± monsoon correlation, thus bringing down
inventories to free up locked-up capital.
