Entering two-wheeler commuter space was a mistake, admits Anand Mahindra

Anand Mahindra, the chairman of the homegrown auto group Mahindra & Mahindra, on Wednesday admitted that entering the commuter bike segment more than a decade ago was a failure on the part of the group. The group entered two-wheelers after buying out Kinetic Motors in July 2008 and relaunched the 'Freedom' bikes under the label of 'Mojo' but has not been able to make a mark in the vastly entry-model driven two-wheeler space in the country even after a decade. The market is dominated by Hero Motorcorp and Japanese major Honda which together control close to two-thirds of the over 21-million units per annum market. Of this, Mahindra sold a paltry 4,004 units in FY19, down 73 percent from FY18. The only player in an over a dozen OEM market behind Mahindra is Kawasaki Motor which sold 3,115 units in the year, according to Siam data. In the year to March 2019, according to the Saim data, the domestic two-wheeler domestic market stood at 21.2 million units, up 4.86 percent

As many as 3.50 lakh jobs have reportedly been lost in the auto industry since the start of the fiscal. "I do believe that kick-starting the auto industry with a few short-term measures will serve a greater national purpose," said Mahindra addressing the company's shareholders at its 73rd AGM here. Along with long-term measures, the short-term measures also required that would remove the immediate barriers to making autos affordable, he said. "The most obvious and welcome first aid would be some temporary relief on the GST front, ...
