In a significant development bolstering the indigenous defence ecosystem, Mahindra & Mahindra has signed a ₹2,700 crore contract with the Indian Armed Forces to supply 1,986 units of the Scorpio Pik-Up. This order further strengthens Mahindra’s long-standing relationship with the military and marks another milestone in the company’s contribution to India’s defence logistics.

With this latest contract, Mahindra’s total vehicle supply to the Indian Army crosses 4,000 units, which includes a mix of Scorpio Pik-Ups, Scorpio Classic, Scorpio N, and Bolero Pik-Up 4WD. Currently, the Indian Army operates a fleet of over 7,000 Mahindra Scorpio SUVs, making it one of the largest suppliers of utility vehicles to the defence sector.

Custom-Built for the Armed Forces

The Scorpio Pik-Up version being supplied to the Army is not available for civilian use in India. Although it’s a popular export model in markets like South Africa and Australia, Mahindra is customizing the vehicle specifically for military needs. Based on the new Scorpio N platform, the Pik-Up is expected to feature a rugged single-cab design, though it remains to be seen if the Army will also receive a dual-cab configuration.

Modifications are being made to align with military specifications. The Army version is likely to omit alloy wheels in favor of steel rims for durability and simplicity. It will be painted in the traditional Army Green, and both cab variants will be equipped with enhanced roll bars that extend above the cabin roofline for additional rollover protection.

All-Terrain and Combat-Ready

Only the 4×4 diesel variant of the Scorpio Pik-Up will be offered to the Army. While Mahindra offers both petrol and diesel options for its civilian models, the Army will exclusively receive the 2.2-litre mHawk turbocharged diesel engine, which generates 172 Bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options remain unconfirmed, although both manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes are available with the engine.

The cabin is likely to be stripped down and reconfigured to accommodate Army-specific equipment and communications systems. The priority will be on functionality and tactical readiness rather than luxury.

A Complementary Induction

In addition to Mahindra’s Scorpio Pik-Ups, the Indian Army is also set to induct 2,978 units of the Force Gurkha, a rugged off-roader suited for high-altitude and rough terrain deployment. Together, these acquisitions form a crucial part of the Army’s modernization and mobility enhancement program.

Export Potential and Civilian Launch

While Mahindra is not planning to launch the Scorpio N Pik-Up in the Indian civilian market due to historically low demand, the vehicle is expected to enter international markets soon. The export version will come equipped with premium features like leatherette upholstery, digital instrument cluster, touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, and even a sunroof. Some variants may also feature Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and trailer sway control, though such features are unlikely to appear in the Army version.

Mahindra’s continued engagement with the Indian Armed Forces underlines its commitment to supporting national defence requirements through durable, indigenous, and mission-ready mobility solutions.
