Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) share price jumped nearly 3 percent to an intraday high of Rs 884.50 on November 9 ahead of the vehicle-maker's September quarter earnings to be announced later in the day.
Mahindra & Mahindra may report a 12 percent drop in profit as the sector endures challenges such as a worldwide shortage of semiconductors and a steep rise in commodity prices, analysts said.
