Mahindra, with its noble cause, has decided to auction the first new Thar in order to raise funds for battling COVID-19. It will be the Number 1 Thar, bearing the serial number 1. Money collected from the auction will be further donated to PM Cares Fund, Swadeshi Foundation and Naandi Foundation. Seeing the soaring popularity of new Thar, we are sure that a good amount of donation will be collected.
Till now, the highest bidding done for the #1 Mahindra Thar has reached 73.25 Lakhs! While we are expecting the actual prices to stay under Rs 15 Lakhs, the bidding has reached nearly its 5 times. There’s another guy that can be seen making a bid for Rs 73.5 Lakhs. The last bid has been done from Palakkad, Kerala. To commemorate, the #1 Thar will come with special inscriptions and embellishments to differentiate it.
