Mahindra
Mr Mahindra and his uncle Keshub Mahindra, who joined the group in 1947 and has been its chairman since 1963. Keshub Mahindra sits on the Prime Minister’s Council on Trade & Industry, while last month, Anand Mahindra was named Ernst & Young’s entrepreneur of the year and business channel NDTV’s business leader of the year.
The Mahindra group’s businesses include financial services, automotive products, trade, retail and logistics, information technology and infrastructure development. It is one of the world’s biggest tractor makers, with plants in India, China and the United States, and an assembly site in Brisbane, Australia. In Australia, it also sells the Mahindra Pik-Up, a light utility.
The Mahindra family and associates hold a stake of about 13 per cent in the main group company, Mahindra & Mahindra, which has a market capitalisation of $7bn.
Mr Mahindra, vice-chairman and managing director of the $7 billion conglomerate that bears his family’s name, aspired to turn the group’s aerospace arm into an Indian version of the Brazilian Embraer. The Mahindra brand is better known for its tractors and utility vehicles, and building a regional jet is a complex and time consuming business that usually starts with the production of much smaller turbo prop aircraft. To speed up the process Mahindra agreed to pay about $40 million for a controlling stake in two small Australian aviation companies, Gippsland Aeronautics and Melbourne-based component maker Aerostaff Australia.
Gippsland Aeronautics, based in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley and maker of the popular 8-seat GA8 Skyvan utility plane, planned to beef up its range with an updated 18-seat version of the controversial Australian-made Nomad twin turbo-prop. It bought the rights to the Nomad’s type certification in 2008.
Aerostaff Australia makes high precision aircraft components and assemblies for makers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Mahindra group’s experience in aviation extends to the co-design of a five-seater plane with the National Aeronautics Laboratory (NAL) of India – designated the NM5 – and the production under licence of a light Australian plane, the Seabird Seeker, for the Middle East.
“The driving force behind our Australian acquisitions is to be the Embraer of India,” Mr Mahindra said. “We are not gunning for Embraer. It’s more a case that we see it as a role model.”
The NM5 programme is unique in the sense that NAL / National Aerospace Laboratories has started work for creation of an airplane, in equal partnership with a private production agency cum development partner, M/s Mahindra Plexion Technologies Private Ltd., a unit of the Mahindra & Mahindra industrial house. NAL signed an MoU with M/s Mahindra Plexion Pvt Ltd (MP) to jointly develop the 5 seater general aviation aircraft, NM5 and to undertake its production and marketing.
Magni M22 Voyager Tandem
Magni Gyro has announced the June, 2005 availability of the M-22 Voyager. Based on the M-16 Trainer model, it sports large baggage strakes on each side of the tandem enclosure. Baggage space includes available space under both seats. The M-22 Voyager eliminates the rear seat flight and engine controls to allow full utilization of available spaces for baggage. (rear controls cannot be added to the M-22. The M-16 is not adaptable to M-22 modifications.)
The M-22 Voyager is the same performance and price as the dual control 914, M-16 Trainer. The M-22 is available only with the Rotax 914UL engine. All appropriate M-16 options are available on the M-22, such as the rear seat windscreen.
The M22 provides approximately 150 liters of available storage space. External compartment doors provide easy access. Sold as kit or fully assembled, the M22 can be fitted as an ag sprayer. The M22 features a 4130 steel tube frame, streamlined composite, wheel pants, leaf-spring and tail planes.
