Encouraging Innovation, Fostering Empowerment

Even as the Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) group diversified into manufacturing and allied activities, steel trading continued to be a core activity for the group and was handled by its intergrade division. Expanded its steel trading and processing operations considerably, the group converted the steel vertical into an independent arm and thus in 1999, Mahindra Intertrade was born.

Started with a steel trading business, Mahindra Intertrade diversified into the steel processing business across automobile, power and home appliances segments. Its revenue as on 31 March 2019 was Rs 1521.9 crore.

Most people usually look at a company’s profit as a marker of its success, but the company believes employee satisfaction is the key to an organizations success. A survey ranked Mahindra Intertrade No. 4 among the top 50 Great Mid-Size Workplaces in the country for 2019.
