Mahindra Thar SUV’s waiting period has been reduced to less than three months, which is likely to boost its sales further.

Mahindra Thar has been one of the most popular SUVs in India for a long time. The current iteration of the three-door lifestyle SUV was launched in 2020. High demand for the SUV has propelled the waiting period stretching to more than a year for some of its variants in the past. However, with a ramped-up production as well as higher average monthly deliveries, the homegrown SUV manufacturer has now reduced the waiting period of Mahindra Thar to less than three months. Interestingly, this comes just a few months after the launch of Mahindra Thar Roxx, which is the more practical and five-door iteration of the lifestyle off-roader.
