The legendary Mahindra Thar, India’s favorite lifestyle SUV, is set to become even more attractive thanks to the revised GST rates that take effect from September 22, 2025. Interestingly, Mahindra has already started offering Thar at new reduced prices ahead of the official rollout, giving buyers an early festive treat.
As per the updated tax slabs, certain 2WD diesel variants of the Thar are witnessing the biggest drops of over 10%, while the 4WD petrol and diesel trims are seeing moderate cuts in the range of 5.4% to 5.75%. This translates into savings of up to ₹1.35 lakh on select models.
⚠️ Note: The prices below are tentative and sourced from reliable channels. Mahindra may slightly revise them around the official GST implementation date. In some cases, Mahindra also appears to be adding extra discounts beyond the GST benefit to keep pricing attractive and aligned with “psychological” round figures.
