Mahindra Thar Roxx Waiting Period List:
For petrol 2WD models, the manual MX1 has a wait of up to 6 months, while the MX5 is at 4 months. The automatic MX3 and MX5 variants have a waiting period of up to 4 months. The petrol AX7 L automatic has the longest wait time at up to 6 months.
In the diesel 2WD category, the MX1, MX3, MX5, AX5 L, and AX7 L have waiting times of 4 to 6 months, with the AX7 L also taking up to 6 months.
For diesel 4WD models, the available variants are the MX5 (manual), AX5 L (automatic), and AX7 L (both manual and automatic), all with a waiting period of up to 6 months. Overall, the AX7 L and MX1 have the longest delivery times for both fuel types and drivetrain options.
Mahindra's increased production capacity has helped reduce these waiting times, making the Thar Roxx more accessible to customers. However, despite the general decrease in waiting times, some models, such as the entry-level MX1 and high-end AX7 L, still experience waits of up to six months. In contrast, models like the MX3, AX3 L, and AX5 L typically have shorter waiting periods of around four months.

M&M eyes the world for its new SUVs, to reckon with Chinese brands
Over the last four years, Mahindra & Mahindra has made August 15 a commemorative occasion to make big ticket announcements on new products and strategic initiatives. These events have taken place in the UK and South Africa while India has played host in recent times. This time around in Mumbai, the company made known its intent to develop an all-new platform which would spawn four SUVs with different powertrain options including electric, petrol and diesel. More importantly, M&M said this was part of a larger global roadmap where countries like South Africa, Australia and the UK would be targeted for its new SUV range. Vision 2027 to that extent is a big step forward for the company where a slew of new SUVs will lead the way. This year's Freedom initiative also saw M&M unveil its Batman edition of the BE 6 electric SUV priced at nearly ₹28 lakh . The numbers will be limited to 300 units and clearly the idea is to present the masked hero from DC Comics to India's affluent younger generation which is perhaps more familiar with the movie series that continues to hit global screens. What we are hearing right now is a very large proportion of people who never considered MahindraRajesh Jejurikar BE 6 as the Indian Batmobile For those familiar with Batman, his comic debut goes back to 1939, three years after The Phantom (who was way more popular as a comic hero in India but did not make much of an impact in the US unlike Batman or Superman). There have been a whole lot of Batman movies which have made their way to India and his Batmobile now has an Indian sibling in the form of the BE 6. Clearly, the signal from M&M is that it is pushing the envelope harder in styling and design combined with modern, funky features that will appeal to India's growing pool of young automobile enthusiasts. Electric is a vital component of the world's tilt towards cleaner fuel alternatives and carmakers, especially those from China, have realised that they can really go the extra mile with radical concepts in design and the latest in electronics. The underlying message is this: electric does not have to be boring by way of merely offering a sole objective of protecting the environment. Today's SUV and motorcycle buyers value their independence and privacy, more so after COVID when they prefer to be in silos. It explains why premium bikes are sought after with exclusive riding clubs where people come together. Likewise, for the more affluent with higher disposable incomes, their cars and SUVs need to offer the feeling of a home away from home. Also Read: Mahindra unveils Global Vision 2027, showcases four 'NU' SUV concepts Right price points This is pretty much on the lines of smartphones which have now become essential companions for everyone. The key, however, for companies like M&M is to ensure that all this is offered at an affordable, or more specifically a value-for-money, price point. This is particularly true for EVs where the mass segment of buyers will typically be comfortable with offering priced at ₹15-18 lakh. As much as Indian customers like the latest features in their EVs, there is only so much that they will be ready to cough up. To that extent, the MG Windsor has hit the sweet spot which is borne out by its market share of over 30 per cent in the EV space and its rapid growth since its debut in September last year. M&M's BE 6 and XEV 9e have doubtless made a mark with combined sales at over 3,000 units each month and in the third place after Tata Motors and MG Motor India. However, offering more price options under ₹20 lakh can draw more buyers and this is where the new platform, NU_IQ, unveiled on August 15, will play a role. The fact that petrol and diesel will also be offered in the four concept SUVs that were unveiled also indicates that it makes more sense to be pragmatic and not focus on electric alone. Across the world, countries are going a lot slower on their EV plans since they have realised that it makes little sense to put all their eggs in one basket. Also Read: Mahindra eyes 350-acre land acquisition in Igatpuri for expansion China challenge There are enormous challenges in planning economies of scale and European and Japanese carmakers know only too well that competing with the Chinese is a completely different kettle of fish. It also explains why both the US and EU have placed firewalls in the form of tariffs on EV imports from China simply because their own brands could be wiped out in the process. This is evident from the rapidly diminishing market share of top brands like Volkswagen in China where they once reigned supreme but now face pressure from EV players like Geely, SAIC and many other local brands. Beyond traditional automakers, the likes of Xiaomi and Huwaei, which are in the electronics space, have also thrown their hats into the EV ring and have a huge list of bookings already in place for their SUVs. As for M&M, it has been on a high for sometime now thanks largely to the stupendous market response to the Thar and its sibling the Thar Roxx. It then had potential customers floored with the BE 6 and XEV 9e which literally redefined the design game coupled with top-class performance. The market was gobsmacked simply because M&M had taken the EV package many notches higher with a host of radical features. The duo has now been notching average monthly numbers of 3,000 units combined with the XEV 9e taking up a larger chunk of sales. We were selling this as a lifestyle SUV statement, what we may call 'objects of desire', based on three primary bases of Jejurikar Multiplier effect In one of its more recent Q&A sessions with analysts, the leadership team had said that the dynamics of launching two products at the same time was actually leading to a positive multiplier effect since the two segments are so different. 'What we are hearing right now is a very large proportion of people who never considered Mahindra,' Rajesh Jejurikar, ED & CEO, Auto and Farm Sectors, had said. There were people in the ₹25 lakh-30 lakh car bracket looking at luxury brands or owning a luxury brand. As a result, it was a very different profile of customer than what the company had handled in the past. By the end of the day, M&M was confident that its electric SUV strategy, based on 'three primary bases of differentiation' would pay off in the market. 'We had also spoken about the fact that we wanted to launch these as highly aspirational 'wow' offerings. We first had to get the customer emotionally connected to 'Yeah, I need to own this' or 'I really want to own this', and then start dealing with some of the barriers which come in the way,' continued Jejurikar. The company had made it clear that it was not planning to retail the new offerings on conventional parameters of economy or fuel saving and so on. 'We were selling this as a lifestyle SUV statement, what we may call 'objects of desire', based on three primary bases of differentiation. One is the design, the second is the HMI or the intuitive human machine interface and third is the high-tech features,' he said.

As part of its Global Vision 2027, the company believes there is more headroom to grow with its new basket of authentic core SUVs . 'We will stay true to this space with best in class features and go global,' said the leadership team. The goal is to offer world-beating products with the best ground clearance, super relaxing legroom, huge luggage space and vehicles designed for global safety standards. M&M has been on a roll lately after losing its way for some years. The recently announced global plans will need to factor in the reality of Chinese rivals who are already going out for the kill while exploring new geographies across Europe, Latin America and ASEAN. M&M has a presence in South Africa and Australia which means it will have its work cut out taking on the Chinese in the coming years.

GST Rate Cuts Could Accelerate Auto Sales, Support Job Creation: HSBC Report
Last Updated: India's auto sector may see higher demand and job creation if the government cuts the top GST slab on cars from 28% to 18%. Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra could benefit. India's automobile sector could see a long-term boost in demand and job creation if the government goes ahead with its proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) simplification, according to HSBC Global Investment Research. The Centre is reportedly considering reducing the highest GST slab on automobiles from 28% to 18% and scrapping the additional cess. Passenger vehicles currently contribute USD 14–15 billion in GST collections, while two-wheelers bring in around USD 5 billion, the report mentioned. At present, taxes on cars range between 29% and 50% as cess is levied over GST, depending on engine capacity and size. Under the new structure, small cars may see their tax rate drop from 28% to 18%, while large cars could face a 'special rate" of 40%, with the cess removed. This could make small cars cheaper by up to 8% and large cars by 3–5%. HSBC noted that Maruti Suzuki India Ltd would benefit the most from such a move, as nearly 68% of its sales fall under the small-car category. Mahindra & Mahindra would also gain, though to a lesser extent, given its higher tilt towards electric vehicles. An alternate scenario, though considered less likely, could involve a flat GST reduction from 28% to 18% across all cars, with cess still varying by vehicle size. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day Speech during the weekend announced a major overhaul in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. Though he did not announce any details, reports said the Centre is considering scrapping the current 12% and 28% GST slabs, realigning most items into the 5% and 18% categories. Certain sin or luxury goods may be placed in a new 40% bracket. Global brokerage firm Jefferies in its note said, 'All the listed 2W OEMs – Bajaj, Hero, TVS, and Eicher – should benefit from this cut. We see a low probability of differential GST between entry-level and premium 2Ws." In passenger vehicles, small cars currently face an effective tax of 29-31% including compensation cess, making Maruti Suzuki one of the biggest potential beneficiaries of a rate cut. SUVs, however, are taxed at 45-50%, a rate Jefferies said is unlikely to change. 'Hybrid vehicles attract a similar GST rate as ICE vehicles, compared with 5% for EVs. Any reduction in GST on hybrids could be positive for Maruti," the brokerage added. Commercial vehicles, also taxed at 28%, may see a reduction to 18%. Ashok Leyland, along with Tata Motors and Eicher Motors, would be key gainers in such a scenario, Jefferies said. Domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services in its report on August 18 said automobiles will be one of the key segments that stand to benefit from GST rationalisation. Passenger vehicle makers Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors, currently paying 28% GST, are expected to benefit significantly if rates are lowered to 18%. Commercial vehicle maker Ashok Leyland may also see demand tailwinds as GST on trucks and buses comes down to 18% from the current 28%, said Motilal Oswal in the report. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mahindra pitches SUVs for the world, all built on one ambitious base
There's something about seeing a concept car under the spotlights that no slide deck or PDF can ever capture. At Mahindra's big reveal in Mumbai, the air was thick with expectation — not only because the company had promised 'a new era of SUVs,' but because this was the first time we were going to see the NU_IQ platform made real. On paper, NU_IQ sounded ambitious: a modular base that could run petrol, diesel, hybrid or EV power, carry different body styles, and even switch between left- and right-hand drive. In person, that ambition took shape through four very different concepts, each making its case for what Mahindra's SUV future looks like. One Platform – 4 Distinct Machines The NU_IQ story was told not through charts but by the sheer variety of metal on stage. What struck me most was how each concept looked nothing like the other, yet all them sat on the same skeleton. The engineers made it clear: this wasn't just a 'skateboard for EVs,' but a genuinely flexible foundation where ICE and EV versions of the same model could be built side by side. That point came hit home when they wheeled out the Vision T — unmistakably the next-generation Thar, but this time in five-door form. Taller and more planted than the current model, it felt more grown-up without losing its utilitarian charm. You could picture a rugged diesel 4x4 tackling a Himalayan pass, but Mahindra just as confidently talked about an all-electric Thar with instant torque for boulder-crawling. The idea that both versions could exist on the same line is something Indian manufacturers have not pulled off before. Next came the Vision S, and here the message was clear: the Scorpio is evolving. The proportions were familiar — upright, muscular shoulders, that signature stance — but the detailing was more sophisticated, more international. Walking around it, you noticed cleaner surfacing and a cabin mock-up that looked leagues ahead of what we're used to in this segment. It wasn't hard to imagine this as Mahindra's family SUV for Europe or Africa, still tough but with enough polish to stand against global rivals. If the Thar and Scorpio derivatives leaned on emotion and legacy, the Vision X aimed squarely at the future. The smallest of the four, but arguably the smartest, it looked sharp and athletic, carrying forward cues from the XUV3XO but with a more confident presence. What made it interesting was Mahindra's hint that this architecture could stretch — today's compact SUV, tomorrow's XUV700 successor. In other words, Vision X isn't just one car, but a scalable idea. And then there was the Vision SXT. If the Vision T was the sensible, practical Thar for families, the SXT was its rowdy sibling. At first glance you recognised the shared bodywork, but the rear told a completely different story — chopped into an open back, it had the sort of lifestyle 'sports-UTE' vibe that felt more California than Colaba. It's not the kind of SUV you expect Mahindra to build for its core Indian buyer base, but as a statement of intent for markets like the U.S. or Australia, it hit the mark. A global language Another detail that stood out at the event was the balance of influences. Mahindra stressed that the designs were shaped both in Mumbai and at its Banbury studio in the UK. Looking at the four concepts together, that mix was obvious: bold Indian ruggedness married to international finesse. Beneath the styling, the engineering team emphasised the benefits of NU_IQ's 'flat-floor' approach, which not only makes packaging smarter but also points to the possibility of the world's first flat-floor ICE SUV — a neat technical brag if it comes to production. Beyond India What set the tone, above all, was Mahindra's global ambition. This wasn't framed as 'our future SUVs for India,' but 'our SUVs for the world.' Left-hand-drive versions were explicitly called out, production is set to begin in 2027, and there was no hesitation in mentioning Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas as targets. That's a bold shift for a company that, until recently, was seen as largely domestic. Walking out of the venue, the impression that lingered wasn't just about four shiny concepts. It was about Mahindra finally building a coherent family of SUVs on one architecture, each designed to wear different personalities without compromise. The Vision T may excite loyalists, the Vision S may reassure families, the Vision X may pull in new urban buyers, and the SXT may raise eyebrows — but together, they make Mahindra's intent impossible to miss. The stage lights will fade, the show cars will head back under wraps, but NU_IQ feels like it could be Mahindra's passport to a bigger game. If the company can deliver these machines to market with the same presence they had in Mumbai, 2027 might just be remembered as the year Mahindra truly went global.
