What the LXT Diesel RWD MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the LXT Diesel RWD MT comes to ₹13,65,300 on the road in Itanagar and ₹15,72,451 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,07,151 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹12.99L ex-showroom Delhi this is the second of 7 Thar variants by price, ₹2.67L above the AXT Diesel MT. It is also the cheapest of the 6 ways into LXT: the same kit as the LXT Turbo Petrol RWD AT for ₹1.77L less. There is no trim above LXT: money spent past this point buys powertrain, not equipment.
More about the LXT trim
The Thar most people mean: 10.25in touchscreen, reverse camera, cruise and 18in alloys, with every engine and the 4WD hardware on offer. Hard top only since the convertible was dropped in April 2025.
Mahindra Thar LXT: the questions people ask

- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Thar LXT Diesel RWD MT?
- Expect ₹13,65,300 in Itanagar and ₹15,72,451 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,07,151 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
