Mahindra and Mahindra was founded in 1945 as a steel trading company and began assembling Willys Jeeps in India soon after independence. Licensed production of Jeep-derived utility vehicles became the core of the business, and the company grew into the automotive flagship of the Mahindra Group, one of India's largest industrial houses. Joint ventures later added trucks and two-wheelers to the company's range.

Mahindra is known for tough, simple vehicles suited to rough roads, from the long-running CJ series and the Thar off-roader to the Bolero utility and Scorpio SUV. Mahindra is also among the world's largest tractor manufacturers by volume, and its pickups and light commercial vehicles serve farms and businesses across India and export markets. The KUV and XUV lines later brought the brand into small cars and crossovers.

Mahindra workshop manuals cover petrol and diesel engines including the mHawk common-rail unit, manual and automatic gearboxes, transfer cases and four-wheel-drive front axles, brakes and ABS, suspension, air conditioning and full wiring diagrams. Torque specifications, service schedules and diagnostic procedures support maintenance to factory standards. Body and chassis repair sections support accident and corrosion work common in agricultural service.

Rural owners and small workshops maintain Mahindras themselves wherever dealer coverage is thin, making accurate manuals essential. Export-market dealers, agricultural contractors and restorers of early Mahindra Jeeps also rely on this documentation for correct parts identification and repair procedures.
