Mahindra and Mahindra has announced that it will supply 35,000 units of Scorpio Pik Up vehicles in 2026 to Agrinas Pangan Nusantara, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, for the Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih (KDKMP) Project. Notably, this single order is larger than Mahindra’s total vehicle exports recorded in FY25. These made-in-India Pik Ups will play a crucial role in enhancing logistics for Koperasi (Cooperatives) being set up in the country.
Under this partnership, Mahindra and Agrinas Pangan Nusantara aim to equip Koperasi with robust, reliable vehicles to ensure the effective, seamless flow of fresh supplies from farmers directly to the marketplace, thereby bridging the gap between producers and consumers. This collaboration aims to enhance rural logistics and enable villages to become independent centres of economic growth.Built at Mahindra’s Nashik plant, the Scorpio Pik Up is known globally for its rugged build, strong payload capacity and low running costs. The vehicles have been customised to suit Koperasi’s operating needs, whether it’s rough rural roads or farm tracks. Once deployed, the Scorpio Pik Ups will strengthen the Koperasi ecosystem by supporting first-mile aggregation moving produce from farms to cooperatives and handling intra-village logistics, helping ensure smoother movement of goods within the cooperative network.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said, “We are looking forward to this association and to supporting Indonesia’s Koperasi through our partnership with Agrinas Pangan Nusantara. By deploying the Scorpio Pik Ups as a part of the Koperasi, we are strengthening a reliable logistics backbone that connects farmers to markets more efficiently. Our Pik Ups are engineered to perform in tough conditions while keeping operating costs to a minimum. The volume committed for this partnership will significantly boost our International Operations, adding as much as our total export volumes achieved in FY 25. In line with Mahindra’s Rise philosophy, this collaboration reflects our commitment to enabling prosperity and supporting national priorities.”Talking about the Scorpio pickup, it’s powered by a 2.2-litre, MHawk turbo diesel engine with 138 hp power and 320 nm torque. It comes paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox with 4×2 and 4×4 options. Key features include projector headlamps with DRLs, fog lamps, manual AC, dual airbags, a two-DIN music system and more.
