Mahindra and Mahindra holds 80% stake in the new firm against a payment of INR 110 Crore. This puts the valuation of KMCL’s two wheeler business at INR 137 Crore. The deal will enable Mahindra to design and market a range of scooters, value engineered motorcycles and high end motorcycles for the Indian and Global markets. Mahindra got indirectly involved in motor racing with the acquisition of Italy based engineering and design from engines engineering in 2008. This is because Kinetic had previously acquired the Italian firm Muegello and by acquiring Kinetic Mahindra found a way into motor racing.
