Mahindra’s latest iteration of the Thar has become quite popular in the Indian auto industry ever since its launch back in October 2020. Naturally, this has led to booking milestones and long waiting periods of up to nine months in certain cities. That said, production has been ramped up in January from 2,000 to 3,000 units, so the waiting period may come down marginally. The Thar also recently received a price hike with the latest prices ranging between Rs 12.10 lakh and Rs 14.15 lakh (ex-showroom). Here’s how long you’ll have to wait for a new Thar in the country:

Keep in mind that those who have booked the Thar from January 8 onwards will have to pay the final price applicable during the time of delivery. So there might be another price hike on the horizon. It currently doesn’t have any rivals, but it will take on the likes of the upcoming Force Gurkha BS6 and Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
