Scindia, born on 1 January 1971, is an Indian politician who serves as the Minister of Civil Aviation, a position his father also held from 1991 to 1993. The Ministry of Steel is headed by him. He represents the state of Madhya Pradesh as a member of parliament in the Rajya Sabha. After losing the 2019 Indian general election, he is no longer a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha representing the Guna constituency in Madhya Pradesh.
He was a member of the Indian National Congress (INC), but now he is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). A member of the INC, Scindia served as a Minister of State with independent charge for various ministries between 2007 and 2014 and was in the cabinet of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from October 2012 until May 2014.

Scindia is the son of late Indian politician Madhavrao Scindia and a grandson of Jivajirao Scindia, the last ruler of the princely state of Gwalior during the British Raj in India. Jyotiraditya was the titular Crown Prince of Gwalior for a brief period in 1971 until the Indian government abolished the privy purses and titles of Indian royals in 1971.
