The bookings for the 2020 Mahindra went through the roof shortly after its launch. The carmakers or any representative are yet to give an official statement on the reason behind the removal of the base variants of the Thar. However, the reports indicate that in order to make up for the waiting period of up to 7 months, the brand has put brakes on the booking temporarily. Mahindra delivered 500 units of the SUV between 7th and 8th November and has assured that the brand will alleviate its production capabilities.
