Mahindra & Mahindra has increased the prices of the Mahindra Thar in India by up to Rs. 43,500. The revised prices came into effect from 6 April 2026, making this the second price hike for the SUV in the last few months.
The highest increase is seen on the LXT 4WD 2.2 Diesel AT variant, which is now costlier by Rs. 43,500. Other variants like the 2.0 Petrol AT and Diesel MT have also received noticeable price revisions. However, the entry-level AXT 2WD Diesel variant continues at the same starting price of Rs. 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
This price revision is part of Mahindra’s plan to adjust costs due to rising input expenses. Despite the hike, the Thar continues to be a popular lifestyle SUV in India, known for its strong off-road capability and rugged design.
Buyers planning to purchase the Thar should be aware of these updated prices, as the increase varies depending on the variant and transmission choice. While the hike may slightly impact affordability, the Thar still holds strong value in its segment.
