The Indian Ministry of Defence has awarded Mahindra a contract to deliver 1,986 Scorpio Pik-Up vehicles to the army.
Valued at 2.7 billion Indian rupees ($31.5 million), the deal builds on a previously signed framework with the Mumbai-based company for more than 4,000 Scorpio platforms, a report from The Hindustan Times said.
Under the broader project, the force will receive various variants, including the Scorpio Pik-Up, Scorpio Classic, and Scorpio-N.
Additionally, the package will include the Bolero Pik-Up cargo vehicle, which offers a larger payload capacity for logistics missions.
Beyond these fleets, the Indian Army will also receive more than 7,000 Scorpio SUVs through another contract awarded to Mahindra.
Mahindra’s Scorpio Pik-Up is a 5-meter (16-foot) system with a ground clearance of 210 millimeters (8.2 inches) and a weight of 1,755 kilograms (3,869 pounds).
It is powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 140 horsepower and features a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle has a payload capacity of approximately 1,100 kilograms (2,425 pounds), a towing capacity of up to 2,500 kilograms (5,512 pounds), and seating for up to five people.
