An open offer for the remaining 23.94 will be made in future under the same price. The above investment is done under a joint venture company form, whose 60% stake will be with Tech Mahindra and 40% with M&M.

After the said deal, the Italian auto engineering and styling house will continue to remain an independent company with its name listed on the Milan Stock Exchange and its command under its long Chairman, Paolo Pininfarina.
