Mahindra Thar has been one of the most popular SUVs in India. With the rising popularity of the boxy and big SUVs, Mahindra has been witnessing incremental demand for this three-door true blue off-roader. Now, to cater for the rising demand, the homegrown automaker has boosted its production, resulting in bringing down the average waiting period to 52 weeks. This means, if you are booking the Mahindra Thar in February this year, you are likely to bring it home sometime in early 2025

Mahindra continues to see high demand for the Thar even three years after launching this lifestyle SUV in India and despite the steep competition from other automakers. The popularity of Mahindra Thar resulted in the automaker selling 6,059 units of the three-door SUV across India in the very first month of 2024, outselling its closest rival Maruti Suzuki Jimny by a huge margin. The SUV has been experiencing the highest demand for its RWD variant. The automaker is yet to deliver about 71,000 bookings of the SUV. Mahindra has been raking in about 7,000 bookings for the SUV every month.
