The Mahindra Scorpio is a mid-size SUV (in the Indian market) and Compact SUV (in the Global Market) manufactured by the Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra since 2002. It was Mahindra's first model to be built for the Global Market.

It was conceptualized and designed by the in-house integrated design and manufacturing team of Mahindra & Mahindra. The car has been the recipient of three Indian awards, including the "Car of the Year" award from Business Standard Motoring as well as the "Best SUV of the Year" and the "Best Car of the Year" awards, both from BBC World's Wheels.

Development
Prior to the mid-1990s, Mahindra & Mahindra was an automobile assembly company. The company manufactured Willys Jeeps and its minor modified versions, with modifications carried out in India. In 1996, the company planned to enter the SUV segment with a new product that could compete globally. Since M&M did not have the technical knowhow to handle such an ambitious product, they devised an entirely new concept among Indian Auto Companies. Roping in new executives who had worked in the auto industry in western countries, such as Pawan Goenka and Alan Durante.

The new Mahindra Scorpio SUV had all of its major systems designed directly by suppliers, with the only inputs from mahindra being design, performance specifications and program cost. The design and engineering of the systems were carried out by suppliers, as well as testing, validation, and materials selection. Sourcing and engineering locations were also chosen by suppliers. The parts were later assembled in Mahindra plant under the Mahindra badge, being a well-known brand in India. Using this method, the company was able to build from scratch a new vehicle with virtually 100 percent supplier involvement from concept to reality, at a cost of Rs. 600 crore ($120 million), includingimprovements to the plant. The project took 5 years to move from concept to final product. The cost was estimated in 2002 to be Rs. 550 Crore.
