Mahindra's Scorpio line-up, which includes the Scorpio Classic and the Scorpio N, have over 1.17 lakh open bookings at the moment, and the carmaker says it is manufacturing around 14,000 units combined every month.

One of the most popular products for Mahindra currently, the Thar, has over 68,000 open bookings, and gets 10,000 fresh orders every month for the Thar 2WD and the 4WD.
