Sourcing parts
TLDR: Mahindra NZ actively working on sorting missing parts and high prices. AgTorque manawatu is your place to buy Mahindra parts in NZ! Great service, fast delivery.
Promising after sale support
I’ve got in touch with Mahindra NZ about my challenges, and they called me back assuring they are working hard to make the parts affordable and ready in stock. Sometimes due to air freight from India, the parts are listed for a higher price than expected. They personally made themselves available to help with any issues with the truck. Thanks to Gurpreet Singh for the call back, it does feel you are working hard to make our lives easier. I will be waiting for the new prices and update this page accordingly.
I live in New Zealand, and Mahindra is not really popular down here. So there are no parts on our main sources like Repco, Supercheap Auto, or BNT yet. Your only option is to find alternatives that would fit, or to get in touch with a Mahindra Dealer.
Also try the Facebook group Mahindra owners club Australia, people are friendly and helpful.
There’s also another Facebook group here in NZ. Mahindra Owners New Zealand. There is where I found Steve from AgTorque!
New Zealand
You need to rely on a dealer to order your parts directly from Mahindra. Mahindra NZ will send the parts to you, not the dealer, they usually have no stock.
Be aware to double check as sometimes the part can be out of stock.
Their prices will vary a bit, bellow you can check a comparison between some dealers.
AgTorque Manawatu ⭐

Without then Fixing snapped CV Axle - Mahindra would be way too expensive to be able to finish the job.

Northland Mahindra had the best prices, and Nigel is awesome to deal with. So I’m sticking with him from now on.
AgTorque Manawatu is the way for me to go now, they have second hand parts and are also able to buy parts from Mahindra.
Australia
Australia seems to have a better range of parts, and the freight is similar. It would take from 2-7 days, a bit longer than if you order in NZ.
For example, the left inner tie rod was not available in NZ, it would take around up to 6 weeks to arrive (unbelievable). From source in AU I was able to get the whole kit including inner/outer tie rods for both sides for $260 AUD.
So, if you can’t find parts in NZ, try AU.
India
- From Ebay, you can import directly from India, takes a while but the price difference is huge. This is one store that sells a lot of original parts. I didn’t buy from them, yet.
