From shopfloor to C-suite: Mahindra offers Diwali Esops to 14,000 employees
The Mahindra Group has announced a one-time employee stock ownership plan (Esop) grant for 12,000-14,000 employees, including shop floor workers for the first time ever. The move across three core companies—Mahindra & Mahindra (auto and farm sector), Mahindra Electric Automobile and Mahindra Last Mile Mobility —comes amid surging sales and profit on the back of hit products such as the Thar driving the M&M stock up more than 12 times in five years. Mahindra has also overtaken Hyundai to become the country's second biggest manufacturer of passenger vehicles, thanks to its range of SUVs.

ET has seen the note. It did not reveal how many shares the group will earmark for this purpose, but people in the know estimate the total outflow to be in the range of Rs 400-450 crore. While granting Esops to keep employees motivated is not unusual, this could be the first time a large Indian conglomerate extends these benefits to shopfloor workers. The Esops, structured as restricted stock units (RSUs). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Productivity Boost? The grant is being positioned as a reward for long-term contribution and a tool to align employees with value creation. 'This special grant reflects the organisation's appreciation for your efforts, makes you a co-owner of this enterprise, and gives you a share in the value that you have helped co-create,' said Anish Shah, group chief executive and managing director of M&M, in a note to employees. Live Events Rajiv Agarwal, department chair for strategy at leading B-school SPJMR, said with this move, Mahindra is fostering a productive environment, where labour participation drives higher overall productivity. 'This approach not only supports the company's growth but also allows employees to benefit from the rise in the stock price,' Agarwal said. 'It's a smart strategy — compensating workers not just with their salaries for the hours they work, but also rewarding them when the company does well. This dual benefit truly aligns employees' interests with the company's success.' The Esop scheme comes on the back of a sharp surge in valuations of Mahindra Electric and Mahindra Last Mile as well. Both have seen over 10x growth in the past five years, supported by strong execution, strategic focus and new business momentum. M&M's shares closed at Rs 3,160 on the BSE on Friday, down 1.35% from its previous close. Its market cap stood at Rs 3,92,925 crore. The Esop shares will be granted to employees on permanent payrolls with at least 12 months' tenure in the group as of the announcement date. Depending on their income tax bracket, the beneficiaries may have to pay tax on the profits they make when they sell their Esop shares. However, shopfloor workers who earn below the taxable income limit won't have to pay any tax on these gains. The Mahindra Group communication credited executive chairman Anand Mahindra and executive director Rajesh Jejurikar for steering the transformation, while thanking employees' families and retired leaders for their support.

AMC's poor planning halts city's longest flyover
Ahmedabad: In what has become a recurring pattern of poor planning and execution, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has once again stumbled in delivering critical infrastructure. This time its the city's longest flyover, the 2.5-km Naroda Patiya flyover, which now mired in delays due to unresolved land and environmental clearance issues. Progress on the project, hailed as a major development for eastern Ahmedabad, has been halted by the forest department, which has refused to allow further construction until compensation for 1.3 hectares of forest land is provided. In addition, 143 trees located on the designated land cannot be felled until re-plantation land is allocated, in accordance with state forest regulations. This bureaucratic stand-off, stemming from the AMC's failure to secure the necessary clearances before starting construction, now threatens to derail the project timeline and inconvenience thousands of commuters. You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad The flyover — from Naroda Patiya to Galaxy Char Rasta — was approved on Aug 23, 2021, by the AMC's road and building committee at an estimated cost of Rs 197.98 crore. It was conceived as a merger of three earlier proposed flyovers in the eastern corridor. Construction began on July 17, 2023, with a 36-month deadline set for July 2026. But as of March 1, 2025, only 36.8% of the work had been completed. "The bridge alignment cuts through forest land near Devi Cinema, and without fulfilling the re-plantation and land compensation clauses, the forest department has rightly refused to permit further work," an AMC official admitted. While work continues on other sections, the deadlock over forest land casts serious doubt on whether the project will be completed on time. The Naroda Patiya debacle is far from an isolated case. Over the past decade, AMC and AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority) have routinely failed to deliver flyovers, underpasses, and railway bridges on schedule. Cost overruns, design changes mid-construction, and inter-agency coordination failures plague nearly every project. The Income Tax flyover was delayed due to post-approval design changes, inflating costs by Rs 10 crore. The Ranip GST flyover was held up for two years due to issues with railway land acquisition. The Ajit Mill Junction flyover faced a year-long delay due to flawed design. The Pallav Crossroads and Dahegam Circle flyovers were both delayed by over two years due to utility and land clearance hurdles. The Panjrapol flyover suffered a late start and ongoing delays due to changes in direction and design. Each project follows a similar script — work begins with much fanfare, foreseeable issues are overlooked, deadlines are missed, budgets balloon, and commuters are left to suffer the consequences.
