Mahindra Scorpio N has seen a huge demand in India since its launch in June 2022. Since then, the automaker has added new variants to help with the waiting period and even hiked the SUV’s prices.

After more than a year since launch, the waiting periods for the two SUVs have dropped down to the range of 1-9 months.
