Mahindra will provide free towing service within a radius of 50km for vehicles which are not currently covered under a roadside assistance program.

The company has already alerted all authorised Mahindra service centres and measures have been proactively deployed to tow affected vehicles to the nearest service centres. The company has also urged its customers to take precautions against the approaching storm & heavy rainfall by removing all valuable belongings from the vehicle and park it in a high-lying covered area not prone to water-logging. Users should also refrain from starting the vehicle if it is submerged in water in a bid to avoid damage to the engine. Moreover, the Relief Task Force has collaborated with Mahindra Insurance Brokers Ltd. (MIBL) to assist with a seamless insurance approval & claim settlement process once service centres open post lockdown.
