Mahindra & Mahindra Share Price Latest: Shares of Mahindra & Mahindra on Wednesday declined as much as Rs 156 or 5.38 per cent at Rs 2,768 apiece on the BSE in the early trade. The decline in the shares comes after the company reduced the prices of its sports utility vehicle XUV 700 by Rs 2 lakh.
According to a market expert, “Mahindra and Mahindra’s vehicle price cut comes after few other auto companies cut their prices. Though Mahindra said it is reducing the rates to celebrate the third anniversary of its flagship XUV700, it in fact shows an excess inventory in the auto industry. Auto companies are decreasing prices to clear their unsold inventories. Investors have got concerned with that.”
