**What Thar.e Owners Should Know:** The Thar.e is built on Mahindra's INGLO P1 platform, featuring a skateboard design with a flat battery pack between the wheels . With a wheelbase ranging from 2, 775mm to 2, 975mm to accommodate the extra doors and battery pack, the electric Thar offers instant torque delivery (135Nm front, 535Nm rear) eliminating the need for a low-range transfer case . Expected launch is August 2026 with a price tag between ₹20-25 lakh .
### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Your Thar.e's Invisible Armour
The Thar.e's radical new design features boxy dimensions, 'flat' panels with corrugations, exposed hinges for doors, squared-off fenders, and a raised Baja-type suspension . All these elements make it highly vulnerable to stone chips, trail scratches, and off-road debris. Our transparent, self‑healing PPF acts as an invisible shield.
**Why PPF is Essential for Thar.e:**
| Reason | Benefit |
|--------|---------|
| **Born electric platform** | INGLO skateboard design – protection from trail debris is essential for battery pack safety |
| **Flat panel surfaces** | The concept features 'flat' panels – scratches show easily on large flat surfaces |
| **Squared-off fenders** | Wide fenders are magnets for stone chips and mud |
| **Exposed door hinges** | Vulnerable to corrosion and scratches – PPF applied before exposure is critical |
| **Baja-type suspension** | Raised stance means more debris kicked up from trails |
| **EV longevity** | EV owners keep cars longer – PPF preserves factory finish |
| **Resale value protection** | Limited production electric off-roader will command premium with pristine paint |
**Recommended PPF Coverage Areas for Thar.e:**
| Area | Why It's Critical |
|------|-------------------|
| **Full Front (Bumper, Bonnet, Fenders)** | High-impact zone for stone chips – the Thar.e's unique grille and square headlight units need protection |
| **Squared-off Fender Flares** | Wide flares take constant abuse on trails – PPF essential |
| **Exposed Door Hinges** | Vulnerable to corrosion – PPF before first use |
| **Flat Panel Surfaces** | Large flat panels show every scratch |
| **Door Edges & Handle Cups** | Wide 5-door SUV vulnerable in tight spots |
| **Rocker Panels** | Low profile catches road debris – battery pack proximity makes protection critical |
| **Tailgate & Spare Wheel Mount** | Protects when loading gear; spare wheel mounting area needs protection |
| **A, B, C, D Pillars** | Gloss black pillars prone to scratches |
| **Headlights & Taillights** | Square LED units – expensive to replace, prone to pitting |
| **Steel Bumper** (if equipped) | PPF can protect painted steel bumpers from rust |
**Thar.e Strategic Protection Packages:**
| Package | Coverage | Best For |
|---------|----------|----------|
| **Full Body PPF** | Complete exterior coverage | Long-term owners, serious off-roaders |
| **Off-Road Package** | Full front + fender flares + rocker panels + door hinges | Most popular for trail enthusiasts |
| **Full Front Package** | Front bumper + full bonnet + fenders + headlights + mirrors | Highway drivers |
| **High-Impact Package** | Door edges + fender flares + tailgate sill | Essential protection |
| **INGLO Platform Protection** | Underbody PPF for battery pack area | EV-specific underbody protection |
**Premium PPF Brands We Use:**

### 2. Underbody Protection – INGLO P1 Battery Guard
The Thar.e is built on Mahindra's INGLO P1 dedicated EV platform, featuring a skateboard design with a flat battery pack between the wheels . This battery pack is the most expensive component of the vehicle and requires heavy-duty protection from trail debris, rocks, and underbody impacts.
**Why Underbody Protection is Critical:**
| Risk | Consequence |
|------|-------------|
| **Rock strikes** | Can damage battery casing, leading to expensive repairs |
| **Water ingress** | Off-road water crossings can compromise battery seals |
| **Corrosion** | Mud and salt can corrode battery connections |
| **Trail debris** | Sharp rocks and branches can puncture protective covers |
**INGLO Platform Specifications :**

> **Pro Tip:** Unlike traditional ladder-frame Thar, the Thar.e's skateboard platform means the battery is a flat, vulnerable surface. Underbody protection is not optional – it's essential for off-road use .
### 3. Screen Protection – 9H Tempered Glass
The Thar.e's interior features a central touchscreen, digital driver's display, and an aircraft-inspired live 'status' pictogram on the instrument panel . These displays are fingerprint magnets and highly susceptible to micro‑scratches.
