- Mahindra is the fourth among top carmakers in India to announce price hike after Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor and JSW MG Motor.
If you are planning to buy the Thar Roxx, Scorpio-N or the XUV700 SUVs from Mahindra, December could be the best time to do it. India’s largest SUV manufacturer has announced that it will hike prices of its vehicles across the lineup from January next year. Mahindra has joined other top car manufacturers in the country to announce price hike in the last couple of days. Earlier Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor and JSW MG Motor also announced price hike on its vehicles from January 1, 2025.
Mahindra issued a statement late on Friday to announce price hike across its portfolio. The carmaker sells SUVs like the Thar, XUV 3XO, Bolero, Bolero Neo and the sole electric SUV XUV400 EV besides the flagship models XUV700, Scorpio-N and Thar Roxx in India. Mahindra has said that it will increase the prices of its models by up to three percent. However, it has not revealed which of these SUVs will get the maximum price hike.

Mahindra has shared the same reasons as the other carmakers behind the price hike decision. The carmaker said rising input costs due to inflation and increased prices of auto parts have made it necessary for Mahindra to pass on the burden to an extent to the customers.
