According to Veejay Nakra, President, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., “The successful launches of Thar RWD and our first all-electric SUV, XUV400, have received very encouraging response from our customers in the first month of 2023. Our Utility Vehicles saw a growth of 66% and we saw an overall growth of 37%. We continue to keep a close watch on the dynamic supply chain situation".

The latest launch from the manufacturer was the Thar RWD which is the most affordable version of the Thar. It now starts at 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The top-end version of the Thar costs 16.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The brand decided to launch the rear-wheel drive version to compete better in the Indian market as the Maruti Suzuki Jimny will be launching soon. Moreover, the Thar RWD is for people who want the road presence of the Thar but they won't be using the SUV for off-roading. Instead, it would be used mostly for city commutes and duties.

The brand is also working on the 5-door version of the Thar which is expected to launch in India sometime this year. Recently, the test mule was spotted with an automatic transmission but no 4x4 lever. This means that the Thar 5-door could also launch with a more affordable rear-wheel drive setup.
