Mahindra Scorpio-N was launched last year in June, while deliveries started in September in a phased manner. The SUV was accepted with warmth by Indian buyers. It managed to record 50,000 bookings in just an hour, while the car initially had a waiting period of over a year. Now, with increased production capacity and semiconductor shortage thrown out of the picture, Scorpio-N is available with a relatively shorter waiting period.

In the corresponding month last year, the company retailed 3,803 units only.
