This marks a rare -- and possibly first -- instance of a large Indian conglomerate extending ESOPs to shop floor workers. The shares will be granted in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs).
"So this is something that I am very happy about and very proud about our company's culture because these ESOPs are for every single person in the company. This is effectively a token of gratitude, because their efforts have helped us do extremely well," he said.
He noted that the diversified conglomerate's market cap has grown 12 times since April 2020, a little more than five years and the group felt it was important to acknowledge this.

The total disbursement for 23,000 employees of M&M, which is a parent company, MEAL, which is an electric vehicle company, and the last mile mobility (vertical), would be in the range of Rs 400-500 crore, depending on factors, he said.
Employees on the permanent payroll with a minimum of 12 months' service within the group will be eligible to receive ESOPs.
Shah stated that the plan aims to reward long-term contributions and align employee efforts with the company's wealth creation.
"It (Rs 400 crore to Rs 500 crore) is a very significant amount, but as I look at it, overall, the value creation they (workers) have led is a lot more," Shah said.
Mahindra & Mahindra has posted a 24 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 4,083 crore for the June quarter, driven by broad-based growth across business verticals.
The company reported a net profit of Rs 3,283 crore for the April-June period of the last fiscal.
Total income from operations rose to Rs 45,529 crore in the June quarter against Rs 37,218 crore in the year-ago period.

Mumbai-Pune Expressway: e-challans worth 470 crore issued but just 51 crore recovered
The Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway has issued 27.76 lakh e-challans worth Rs 470 crore since the AI-enabled system's launch in July 2024. However, the state has received only Rs 51 crore in fines so far, according to data from the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department. According to the data, cars accounted for the highest number of violations, with 17.2 lakh e-challans issued for overspeeding on the 95-km highway. Heavy goods vehicles followed with 3.27 lakh e-challans, while buses and heavy passenger vehicles accounted for 2.48 violations. Taxis received 2 lakh e-challans, light goods vehicles 1.2 lakh, medium goods vehicles 85,468, articulated heavy goods vehicles 30,450, and medium passenger buses 14,764. ITMS uses 40 gantries, hundreds of CCTV cameras, speed guns, automatic number plate recognition, weigh-in-motion sensors and weather sensors. An operator checks violation reports produced by the system before clearance by Regional Transport Office (RTO) officials. Most overspeeding cases have been seen in the Khandala Ghat segment, where car speed is restricted to 60 kmph and heavy vehicles to 40 kmph. Elsewhere on the expressway, speeds are restricted to 100 kmph for cars and 80 kmph for heavy vehicles. Transporters complain that the ghat speeds, especially on the 10-km declining segment of Lonavala to Khalapur, are unreasonably low and cause delay. However, according to a source at Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), the government is planning to raise the limit for heavy vehicles to 45-50 kmph on the ghat's Pune-Mumbai arm. In June and July, transporters boycotted cargo movement to protest what they deemed excessive e-challans. However, the strike was called off after the government agreed to set up a panel to discuss the issue. An MSRDC official said the purpose of the system was to ensure road safety, not to collect revenue. 'ITMS is meant to ensure enforcement of rules uniformly across all vehicle categories and to curb accidents. Feedback from transporters is being considered. But a decision on the speed limit will be taken after consideration of safety and operational requirements.' The review board is set to present its recommendations in the coming months.

Vineet Khanna, Co-founder, Supertails, added, 'Indian pet parents are prioritising their pets' wellbeing more than ever, with the pet care market projected to touch Rs 1 lakh crore in the next decade.
