Mahindra & Mahindra, a major player in the automotive industry, is getting ready to place a significant wager in the banking industry. In addition to the automotive industry, the company also does business in non-bank lending and technological services. However, the Mahindra Group is now planning to enter the official banking industry. For this reason, the Mahindra Group has chosen to acquire a 10% interest in the private bank RBL Bank.
