Article Abstract:
The inability of Indian carmakers to increase their stake in their joint ventures with foreign automobile manufacter partners has given control of the joint venture to the foreign partner. Such is the case with Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. which relinquished control of Mahindra Ford India Ltd. to partner Ford Motor Co., which plans to reduce its stake in the joint venture from 50% to 20%. Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co. also had to give partner Daimler Benz AG a 76% stake in their joint venture due to its funding problems with other core businesses.
