By joining British International Investments (BII) as an investor in Mahindra Electric, Temasek has reportedly contributed to a 15 per cent increase in the valuation of Mahindra's electric vehicle subsidiary. This valuation has risen from a previous range of up to INR 70,070 crore to a new range of up to Rs. 80,580 crore.
