Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Thar Roxx launch come as more practical offering while carrying the lifestyle off-roader appeal of Thar 3 door. The product do offer clear distinction, Roxx to cannibalize Thar 3 door to some extent while will get additional customers from mid SUV segment given price overlap with better features on offer.
M&M continues to enjoy a strong order backlog of about 178k units (vs. about 220k units in Q4-FY24) of which Thar is aboutv42k units and launch of Thar Roxx should further build on the same.

Driven by a strong order backlog and new launches, we expect M&M to continue outperforming industry growth even in FY25E.
