Mahindra Scorpio N Pickup Truck Spied Testing: Watch Video
The one in the video is the double-cab version of the pickup truck. Previous spy shots confirmed that the model will have two iterations: a single-cab and a double-cab version. This means that the brand will have various iterations of the vehicle to serve consumers with various needs. The one in this case is the double-cab version. It seems to have a new grille and a shark fin antenna.
Based on the video, the Scorpio N pickup truck's double-cab version is equipped with basic steel wheels. Both models come with a roll bar that rises above the roof of the cabin, a feature likely designed for structural safety in rollover scenarios. At the back, the production test units appear to utilize halogen taillamps, which seem to have replaced the LED lights showcased in the original concept. These halogen lights resemble those found on the previous Scorpio Getaway.

The previously revealed concept version boasted an impressive array of modern technologies, including Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), 5G connectivity, trailer sway control, several airbags, driver fatigue detection, and Mahindra's 4Xplore four-wheel-drive system. It remains to be seen how many of these features will be incorporated into the final production model.
In terms of mechanics, the forthcoming pickup is anticipated to share its powertrain with current Mahindra SUVs. This likely means it will include a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-litre diesel engine. Expected transmission options are a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, along with the choice of a 6-speed torque converter automatic.

Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX says it lost over $44 million following a hack
CoinDCX, a leading Indian cryptocurrency exchange, confirmed on Saturday, July 19, that a security breach has resulted in the loss of $44.2 million (Rs 380 crore approx.) The Mumbai-based firm has disclosed that hackers compromised and drained all the funds from one of its internal operational accounts that is used for liquidity provisioning, which helps minimise slippage and ensure smoother trading. Ethical hacker ZachXBT was the first to flag the breach, and said that he uncovered the incident 17 hours after it happened. CoinDCX has emphasised that the wallets used to store customer assets were not impacted by the hack. INR withdrawals and other trading activity remain operational. The centralised crypto exchange initially paused its Web3 mode feature as a precautionary measure. A few hours later, it restored the in-app feature that gives users access to over 50,000 DeFi (decentralised finance) tokens. 'The incident was quickly contained by isolating the affected operational account. Since our operational accounts are segregated from customer wallets, the exposure is only limited to this specific account and is being fully absorbed by us – from our own treasury reserves,' Sumit Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, CoinDCX said on X 'Our internal security and operations teams have been working through the day along with leading cybersecurity partners to investigate the matter, patch any vulnerabilities and trace the movement of funds,' he added. CoinDCX also assured that its reserves are sufficient to fully cover the losses from the hack. 'This won't cause any loss to any of our customers and CoinDCX will be bearing the full amount from our treasury reserves, which is sufficiently healthy to cover up for this amount,' Gupta said. Exactly one year ago to the day, hackers breached another Indian crypto exchange, WazirX, and made away with over $230 million in crypto assets. The crypto industry's vulnerability to such incidents remains a pressing concern as it could undermine investor confidence. It could also fuel further scepticism of cryptocurrency by regulators in countries like India, where the sector is still under evaluation. The CoinDCX hack adds to what is already shaping up to be the worst year-to-date on record for crypto thefts. Hackers have stolen more than $2 billion in crypto during the first half of 2025, according to new data from crypto analysis firm Chainalysis. 'I understand incidents like this can be unsettling – even when customer assets are unaffected. That's why I am sharing this incident with you with full transparency,' Gupta said on X. On what to do next, he said that CoinDCX will be collaborating with its exchange partner to block and recover assets. It will also be launching a bug bounty programme soon.

Indians on the hybridge to electric future: Hybrid cars demand surges at a pace similar to EVs despite fewer options
Demand for strong hybrid cars is growing at a pace similar to electric vehicles (EVs) despite limited offerings, and government incentives promoting the latter, prompting carmakers to line up more hybrid models to meet increasing customer demand amid high fuel prices. There are only about five strong hybrid models on sale in the country, compared to 15 EVs. Yet, both segments grew about 18per cent year-on-year in FY25, with hybrids emerging as a practical, fuel-efficient alternative while pure electric adoption slowed amid continuing infrastructure bottlenecks. Automakers are creating more room for hybrids in their emissions compliance strategies ahead of stricter fuel-efficiency rules set to kick in from April 1, 2027. From Maruti Suzuki to Hyundai Motor India and Mahindra & Mahindra, they are gearing up to launch more than half a dozen hybrid vehicles over the next two years. 'Interestingly, automakers that previously dismissed hybrids are now actively evaluating or developing hybrid models for India,' said Gaurav Vangaal, associate director at S&P Global Mobility. 'This shift reflects evolving market dynamics and growing consumer interest, which—month after month—is increasingly steering the industry toward hybrid technology.' According to the industry, more than half of the sales of Toyota Innova Hycross and Urban Cruiser Hyryder now come from strong hybrid variants. Maruti Suzuki offers only a strong hybrid version of the Invicto MPV. At Honda, the share of strong hybrid in City sedan sales has increased to almost 15per cent, up from 9-10% after launch. 'With the upcoming implementation of CAFE 3 norms, we can expect a surge in launches across both hybrid and electric powertrains,' Vangaal said. The government is in the process of formulating the third edition of the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE 3) norms. Under CAFE, fuel consumption and emission targets apply to the overall fleet of a carmaker, including EVs and hybrids, rather than individual models. This gives manufacturers leeway to sell larger, less efficient vehicles as long as their cleaner models offset the impact on overall fleet emissions. Fuel-wise vehicle sales data collated by industry body Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) show hybrid vehicle sales rose 18% year-on-year to 105,000 units in FY25. Electric vehicle sales, too, grew at a similar pace to 118,000 units, largely driven by new, more affordable models introduced by Tata Motors, JSW MG Motor and M&M. Sales of petrol vehicles, meanwhile, dipped by 6.6per cent to 2,482,000 units. Industry watchers said the pace of growth in EV sales has moderated (from about 90% in FY24) despite central and state governments lining up several incentives — from reduced GST rate of 5per cent, waiver of registration charges and road taxes, and income tax benefits to enthuse customers to shift to EVs. They mostly blame it on the lack of adequate charging infrastructure. Thus, buyers looking to save on fuel costs are increasingly opting for strong hybrid vehicles. New Hybrids While Maruti Suzuki is set to take the covers off a hybrid SUV (codenamed Y17) ahead of the festive season this year, its Korean rivals Hyundai and Kia are set to drive in their first strong hybrid models next year, industry insiders said. JSW MG Motor is examining plug-in hybrid vehicles for launch in India. Industry insiders said homegrown M&M, which so far has been betting big on born EVs, too, is developing a strong hybrid vehicle for launch in 2027. 'It is heartening to note that both BEVs and strong hybrids are growing well,' said Rahul Bharti, senior executive officer at Maruti Suzuki. 'SHEVs (strong hybrids) also enhance energy efficiency and reduce CO2 significantly over pure petrol/ diesel vehicles.' The strong hybrid variant of Grand Vitara, for instance, emits 26per cent less CO2 than the pure ICE model and offers 36per cent increase in fuel efficiency. In the case of the Invicto, energy efficiency is up by 44per cent while CO2 reduction is 30%. 'As the market leader, we will pursue all powertrain technologies including BEVs, SHEVs, CNG and CBG and ethanol flex fuel for decarbonisation,' Bharti said. Mahindra also is planning to drive in a hybrid version of XUV 3XO, a senior industry executive aware of the company's plans said. 'When diesel prices were lower than petrol, customers who had to run their vehicle a lot everyday preferred to buy a diesel vehicle. The same thing is going to happen with hybrids today,' the executive said. Hyundai Motor India managing director Unsoo Kim at its latest post-earnings call said the company will launch 26 products – 20 ICE and 6 EVs – by FY30, in addition to ongoing product interventions and updates. 'Additionally, we shall be introducing new ecofriendly powertrains like hybrids,' he said. Kim said the company is looking at building a 'well-balanced portfolio across (internal combustion engine) ICE and eco-friendly technologies to cater to the diverse customer's needs across segments.'
