If you have been planning to bring home the iconic Mahindra Thar, the three-door true-blue SUV that can take you anywhere, irrespective of the road condition, now you have to stretch your budget slightly. Just a few months after reducing prices following a GST rate cut during the last festive season, the homegrown auto giant has increased the price for its popular three-door SUV. The Mahindra Thar has become pricier by 20,000, and the new pricing is effective immediately.

The increased pricing applies to all the variants of the Mahindra Thar, except only the AXTL 1.5 Diesel 2WD variant. The price hike applies to all the petrol and diesel versions of the SUV, as well as the 2WD and 4WD configurations of the Mahindra Thar, except only the aforementioned trim.

The price hike comes as part of the brand's annual price revisions. The price hike is attributed to the increased input costs, owing to the factors such as rising raw material prices, inflation etc.

Here is a quick look at the revised price list of the Mahindra Thar.
