Mahindra Updates Erkunt Turkey Divestment Agreement With Higher Funding Commitment

Mahindra & Mahindra has revised the terms of its planned divestment of its stake in Erkunt Sanayi Anonim Sirketi, a step-down subsidiary located in Turkey. The updated disclosure, announced on June 30, follows an amendment to the stock purchase agreement that was originally communicated on April 10, 2026. While the financial consideration payable to Mahindra's Mauritius-based wholly owned subsidiary MOICML and Erkunt Traktor remains unchanged at TRY 100,000, equivalent to approximately INR 213 thousand, the revised agreement significantly increases the funding commitment required before the transaction reaches completion.

Under the amended arrangement, MOICML will now infuse TRY 2.26 billion, or approximately INR 4.71 billion, instead of the previously planned amount. This capital will be utilized to extinguish external debt obligations and provide business funding until the divestment process is completed. The revised agreement maintains the original transaction value while adjusting the financial structure needed to support operations before ownership is transferred.

The acquiring side, comprising Hisarlar Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret along with two individual parties, has also agreed to contribute additional capital under the revised transaction terms. Their combined investment totals USD 10 million, approximately INR 950 million, providing further financial support as part of the updated agreement. Both parties continue to move forward under the amended structure without altering the purchase consideration payable to the sellers.

Revised Financial Structure of the Divestment

The revised agreement primarily changes the funding commitments required before completion while leaving the purchase consideration unchanged. The additional capital is intended to strengthen the company's financial position, settle outstanding external borrowings, and ensure uninterrupted business operations until the ownership transfer is finalized.

Updated Transaction Summary

Below is a summary of the revised transaction terms announced by the company.

The transaction is currently expected to close by August 15, 2026, subject to completion of the remaining conditions outlined in the amended stock purchase agreement. The revised funding commitments from both the seller and the buyer are designed to support financial stability and facilitate a smooth completion of the divestment process.
