Mahindra said eyeing Korea's Ssangyong
Mahindra Group has expressed interest in buying South Korea's cash-strapped Ssangyong Motor Co, a South Korean newspaper reported on Monday.
Mahindra Group recently sent a letter to Ssangyong saying it wanted to acquire management rights in the firm, the Korea Economic Daily said, without citing sources.
The group's unit Mahindra & Mahindra, India's top utility vehicle and tractor maker, is expected to buy Ssangyong, the paper quoted industrial sources as saying.

A Ssangyong spokesman declined to comment on the report while Mahindra officials were not available for comment.
A South Korean court backed Ssangyong's rescue plan last December, which was opposed by its majority owner, China's SAIC Motor Corp.
