Sir Anand Mahindra is in the headlines every now and then for his remarkable tweets and regular interaction with netizens on Twitter.

The business tycoon’s tweet went viral in an instant
And that makes Rohit Shetty best QA to test vehicles going for NCAP ratings. Congratulations to Rohit as well 👏👏👏.
Scorpio N is now R-NCAP also.😃— Sunil Patwal (@sunilpatwal) December 13, 2022
I don't know why NCAP even tests M&M cars.
Rohit Shetty using them in his films extensively for stunt sequences proves their safety.— Ahsan (@AHSANKHARBAI) December 12, 2022
Scorpio is the super safest car in all I have used. Thanks

The Global New Car Assessment Programme’s (GNCAP) new crash test protocols took effect on July 1, 2022. The Scorpio-N was the first one-on-frame SUV to receive a 5-star rating.
The crash test results were made public on December 12. According to it, the Mahindra Scorpio-N received five stars for protecting adult occupants and three stars for child occupant protection. The Maruti Suzuki Swift received one star for both adult and child occupant protection.
The Scorpio-N is Mahindra’s third SUV to obtain a 5-star rating after the XUV700 and XUV300. The Mahindra XUV300 became the company’s first SUV to receive a 5-star adult safety rating in 2020, India’s first “Safer Choice” Award (from GNCAP), and in 2021, the XUV700 received the same.
