Mahindra has confirmed that it delivered the 100,000th unit of the XUV700 earlier this month. It has achieved this feat in less than 20 months of the vehicle’s launch. That makes the XUV700 the fastest Mahindra SUV to reach this milestone. The first 50,000 units were with their takers within the first 12 months of the vehicle’s launch, while the delivery of the remaining 50,000 took about 8 months. Mahindra aims to strengthen its production capabilities this year to further reduce the wait time for customers.

Indian automaker Mahindra has bagged a Guinness World Record, courtesy of the Scorpio-N. The SUV was recently launched in Australia, claiming the title of “Fastest crossing of the Simpson Desert by a production vehicle”. It crossed 1,100 sand dunes within 13 hours, with temperatures peaking at 50 degrees Celcius. The SUV was co-driven by Gene Corbett (Total Driver) and Ben Robinson (4WD Industries). The journey began at dawn in Birdsville and ended at Alkaseltzer Bore. Along the 385km route, the Mahindra Scorpio-N also overcame salt flats 20 metres above sea level.

Hyderabad has become home to Stellantis India’s latest establishment – a Digital Hub. It spans over 75,000 sq. ft. and is designed on the company’s “New Era of Agility” model – a hybrid work initiative mixing remote and in-office work.

According to the company, the new hub will also support its ‘Dare Forward 2030’ strategic plan. Moreover, the Digital Hub will help nurture Indian talent in the software and technology sectors while becoming a platform to gain deeper insight into the domestic market.
