Market Dominance and Segment Leadership
Mahindra’s ambitions for the Thar are nothing short of audacious. The company aims to leverage the brand’s emotional connect and growing popularity to achieve a dominant position in the highly competitive SUV market. With a current market share of 27% in the Rs. 12.5 lakh+ SUV segment, which accounts for a substantial 45% of the total industry volume, Mahindra is well-positioned to realize its aspirations.
The Thar Roxx, with its expanded seating capacity and refined features, is expected to play a pivotal role in driving Mahindra’s growth trajectory. By addressing the limitations of the three-door Thar and offering a more versatile and comfortable option, the Thar Roxx is poised to attract a broader customer base and contribute significantly to Mahindra’s market share expansion.
