The Mahindra Defender 2026 model has been listed at an on‑road price of ₹1.35 crore in Manipal as of July 2026, according to ZigWheels.com. This figure includes all taxes, fees, and the car’s fully loaded configuration.
The price hike follows the launch of the newest Defender variant featuring advanced connectivity, upgraded safety features, and Indian‑specific styling cues.
