| Packaging |
| |
| Though packaging is not material to any of our businesses covered in the scope of the report, it is present in many forms. The raw material, semi finished components, sub-assemblies, and even the associated material is received in packaging and the semi-finished components and subassemblies supplied to vendors and other plant locations are despatched using packaging. |
|
|
While we aim to enhance our reporting to include packaging at a future date, even today the Mahindra Group encourages reuse and recycling of packaging materials for the products and services such as cars, tractors, IT consultancy, financial services, logistics and construction. |
