The takeover by Mahindra is set to include plans to restructure the debt and regain financial stability. In a company statement, Pininfarina said:
“In September 2015, the parent presented a draft business and financial plan drawn up jointly with Mahindra to the lending institutions. The new plan would ensure the financial stability and recapitalisation of the parent and the Group for the foreseeable future.
