M&M produced its first tractor in 1963, the Mahindra B-275, by forming a joint venture with International Harvester to manufacture tractors carrying the Mahindra nameplate for the Indian market. Mahindra Tractors sold about 85,000 units annually, making it one of the largest tractor producers in the world.

To raise awareness about Mahindra in the US, Mahindra USA announced its new sponsorship in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with R3 Motorsports, which is participating with a #23 Mahindra Tractors Chevrolet.

In 2008, Mahindra was a sponsor of the MacDonald Motorsports team, which ran the #81 car in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. They currently are a sponsor in NASCAR for Stewart-Haas Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series for Chase Briscoe.
