Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., India’s leading SUV brand, has ushered in a wave of savings for car buyers by fully implementing the recent GST 2.0 rate cuts across its entire range of internal combustion (ICE) SUVs. Effective September 6, 2025, Mahindra models such as the Thar, Scorpio, XUV700, XUV 3XO, and Bolero are now available at significantly reduced prices—making this festive season especially rewarding for SUV enthusiasts.
What’s Behind the Price Drop?
The reduction in vehicle prices follows a landmark decision at the 56th GST Council meeting, where Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a simplified, two-tier GST slab for automobiles. With small SUVs now taxed at 18% (previously 29–31%) and larger models at a flat 40% (down from around 48%), manufacturers now have the opportunity to pass substantial savings to customers.
