Mahindra & Mahindra has become the first passenger vehicle manufacturer in India to pass on the full benefits of the Next-Gen GST Reform (GST 2.0) to its customers. Starting September 6, 2025, the company has slashed prices across its entire ICE SUV portfolio, with savings ranging up to ₹1.56 lakh depending on the model and variant.
GST 2.0 Benefits Applied Early
While the revised GST structure officially comes into effect on September 22, 2025, Mahindra announced it will implement the tax reductions in advance, ensuring that buyers benefit immediately during the festive season.
The move follows the 56th GST Council Meeting, which cut tax rates on passenger vehicles by reducing GST slabs and rationalizing cess charges.
Mahindra SUVs with New GST Rates and Price Benefits
Below is the complete list of Mahindra SUVs with their old tax rate, new GST rate, and maximum customer savings:
| Model | Current GST + Cess | New GST Rate | Full GST Benefit (₹ Lakh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bolero / Neo | 31% | 18% | 1.27 |
| XUV3XO (Petrol) | 29% | 18% | 1.40 |
| XUV3XO (Diesel) | 31% | 18% | 1.56 |
| Thar 2WD (Diesel) | 31% | 18% | 1.35 |
| Thar 4WD (Diesel) | 48% | 40% | 1.01 |
| Scorpio Classic | 48% | 40% | 1.01 |
| Scorpio-N | 48% | 40% | 1.45 |
| Thar Roxx | 48% | 40% | 1.33 |
| XUV700 | 48% | 40% | 1.43 |
Note: Benefits vary depending on model, trim, and variant.
Why Mahindra’s Price Cut Matters
Boost for SUV Buyers
The early price cuts will significantly reduce the on-road cost of popular models like the Bolero, Scorpio-N, Thar, and XUV700, making them more accessible to buyers.
Competitive Edge
By moving first, Mahindra has gained a strategic edge over rivals such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata Motors, which are expected to announce similar GST-linked benefits closer to September 22.
Auto Sector Revival
Industry experts suggest that such early GST benefit transfers could stimulate demand in India’s automobile sector, especially during the festive season, traditionally the peak sales period for cars and SUVs.
