M&M fails in its bid to buy Tractorul

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited’s (M&M) bid to buy Romanian tractor maker Tractorul Brasov SA has failed due to the Romanian government rejecting debt guarantees as sought by M&M. M&M has acquired a number of tractor companies and auto-parts companies overseas in the past as it seeks to gain technology and tap bigger markets. The Mumbai-based company plans to spend Rs. 400 crores ($90 mn) over the next two years on expansion and developing new models. The company plans to make more acquisitions outside India this year.
