Although the Mahindra Thar 3-door was given an update just last year, the Indian carmaker has once again refreshed the popular off-roader in 2026. Not only does it get a handful of cosmetic revisions inside and out, but it also comes with a bunch of new amenities and a new suffix (read OG). Mahindra has priced the new Thar OG from Rs 10.32 lakh to Rs 18.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom Delhi). If you have been wanting to bring one home, here’s a look at how much it costs on-road in some of the top Indian cities:
How Is the On-Road Price Calculated?
The cost you see in a vehicle’s brochure or on its website is the ex-showroom price. It is not the final amount you have to pay. In order to legally register and drive the vehicle, buyers need to pay a few additional costs beyond the ex-showroom price. When these charges are added together, they form a car's on-road price. We have also covered the booking and delivery details of the 2026 Mahindra Thar OG to help you make the right decision.
The major components of the vehicle's on-road price include:
-
Insurance
-
TCS (if applicable)
-
Road Tax
-
Registration Fees
-
FASTag charges
-
Logistics charges, where applicable
| What is TCS? Tax Collected at Source, or TCS, levied at 1% of the ex-showroom price, applies to vehicles with an ex-showroom price exceeding Rs 10 lakh. When filing their Income Tax Returns (ITR), corporate individuals can claim this amount. |
Disclaimer: These prices are merely indicative and may vary depending on various factors. We suggest contacting your local Mahindra dealership for the exact details about the on-road pricing in your city.

Overview
The ‘Thar’ nameplate carries a lot of weight for Mahindra, and the carmaker brought it back in the second-generation version in 2020. Following its introduction, the second-gen Thar was given multiple model year updates and has now received two refreshes in quick succession.
The updated Thar – or the Thar OG as it is called now – comes with all-LED lighting, a revised grille design, and 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. Other changes include brown leatherette upholstery and armrests with cupholders for rear passengers.
Equipment on board comprises a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, a 6-speaker music system, and a height-adjustable driver seat. Occupant safety is taken care of by six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, all-wheel disc brakes, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and a rear parking camera.
Mahindra is offering it with three powertrain choices to pick from, the technical specifications of which are given in the table below:

CarDekho Says…
With the Thar OG starts at Rs 13 lakh on-road for the base AXT variant and going up to a maximum of Rs 24.04 lakh on-road for the ZXT variant, this price range does overlap with some compact SUVs which do offer more practicality, features and safety equipment. Whereas the Thar OG offers a body-on-frame structure, new Davinci suspension, and capable off-road manners for someone looking for their secondary vehicle as a lifestyle product.
So, at this price segment, you have to choose between a capable, lifestyle off-road SUV or a practical family SUV; let us know in the comments which one you would choose!
