Mahindra is already selling its vehicles in a host of countries including Uganda, Uruguay, Qatar, South Africa and Malaysia.
Mahindra may also use Renault’s Dacia plant in Romania to manufacture the Scorpio and then market it in the Eastern European countries through Renault distributors. Mahindra is already supposed to have developed a left-hand drive version of the vehicle.
