In India, Mahindra Auto is the #1 traditional ladder-frame SUV manufacturer by a long shot and the company also dominates the country’s mid-size SUV segment. While these achievements in PV segment are noteworthy, Mahindra also has a strong presence in India’s CV segment both in terms of domestic market and exports.
Cementing on this fact is a new LCV order by Indonesian state-owned enterprise that requires Mahindra to export 35,000 units of Scorpio Pik Up single cab pickup trucks in 2026. This is by far the biggest-ever export order Mahindra has received, demonstrating India’s profound manufacturing capabilities.
