Mahindra and Mahindra's executive director Arun Nanda has been conferred the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, the highest civilian award of France.
He will be presented with the order at a ceremony in Mumbai at a date to be announced, a release said in Mumbai on Thursday.
"It is a recognition of your remarkable career in the business community in Mumbai and on the part you took in the establishment of the partnership between Mahindra and Renault," French Ambassador to India Jerome Bonnafont said in a letter informing Nanda of the award.
"But, above all, it is your performance as president of the Indo-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the efficiency which you have restored in this association, that the French president wishes to pay tribute by conferring this distinction on you," he said.
