Tech Mahindra has increased its stake in the New Democratic Electoral Trust (NDET) by investing **Rs 0.375 Cr**. This boosts their holding from 19.83% to **49.35%**, making NDET an associate.

The move is aimed at ensuring compliance with financial and statutory obligations applicable to the electoral trust.

Given the modest investment and the trust's nature, this transaction is expected to have a negligible financial or operational impact on Tech Mahindra's core business.

This reflects a corporate governance-driven investment related to political contributions rather than business expansion.
