The Economic Times reports that Mahindra & Mahindra’s plans for an all-new global SUV platform to be built in India, and marketed internationally is moving forward.
“We are developing a new SUV platform, which will replace Scorpio. This platform will be compatible with the markets abroad and will be exported from India.” - Mahindra & Mahindra President, Automotive Sector, Pawan Goenka
Mahindra plans to invest upwards of USD $150 million into the project. This is part of a total investment of USD $1 billion in capital expenditures for Mahindra’s Chakan plant.
The Scorpio platform is the common chassis used for the (soon-to-be) US-market TR20 and TR40 pickups, as well as the current Scorpio SUV marketed elsewhere. The article does not indicate whether or not future plans include some level of vehicle assembly in the United States.
