Indian automakers are winning big contracts in Indonesia. After Mahindra & Mahindra bagged its biggest order of 35,000 units, rival automaker Tata Motors has secured its largest order ever of 70,000 vehicles in Indonesia. The two homegrown auto majors will deliver vehicles to the Indonesian state‑owned enterprise Agrinas Pangan Nusantara.
PT Tata Motors Distribusi Indonesia, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Tata Motors, on Tuesday announced that 70,000 vehicles will be delivered to PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara, an enterprise which focuses on modernising agricultural supply chains, empowering rural cooperatives and advancing national food security initiatives.
Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle (CV) company, will supply 35,000 units each of the Yodha (pick-up) and the Ultra T.7 (truck), to its subsidiary PT Tata Motors Distribusi Indonesia. The subsidiary will then supply the vehicles to the Indonesian firm.
Through the Koperasi Desa and Kelurahan Merah Putih Project, major strategic projects of Indonesia, the vehicles will support Indonesia’s broader nation‑building efforts by strengthening rural connectivity, livelihoods and economic resilience, said Tata Motors in a statement.
Asif Shamim, Director, PT Tata Motors Distribusi Indonesia said, “This order reflects the continued acceptance of Indian commercial vehicles in international markets and the confidence of customers in their ability to operate reliably across diverse conditions.”
Last week, Mahindra & Mahindra had secured an order to supply 35,000 units of Scorpio Pik Up vehicles in 2026 to Agrinas Pangan Nusantara for the Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih Project. This order surpassed Mahindra’s total export volumes achieved in FY2025.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra, said, “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,” added Gollagunta.
Manufactured at the Nashik Plant, Scorpio Pik Ups are tailored to meet the operating requirements of Koperasi – from rough rural roads to farm tracks, said Mahindra.
