I think the newly-formed joint venture (as of the time of writing this post) between the Ford Motor Company and Mahindra will be a fruitful business proposition for both companies.

In 1953, Mahindra had obtained a license from Willys to produce the CJ-3 locally in India. To this day, Mahindra produces updated iterations of the CJ-3 and Jeep Station Wagon designs.

Mahindra even still produces Jeeps intended for Commercial and Industrial use with a Power Take-Off (PTO) unit.
