Mahindra SUVs are heavier and more demanding than typical passenger cars. A loaded Scorpio, Thar on rough terrain, or XUV700 on the highway puts more stress on brake pads than most city hatchbacks ever will. That makes brake pad selection — and authenticity — genuinely important.
Counterfeit Mahindra brake pads are a documented problem in India. This guide covers the correct part numbers for popular Mahindra models, how to verify authenticity, and where to buy safely.
In short: Genuine Mahindra brake pad kits are model- and variant-specific. The Thar (all new) uses part number 0603BAB0069KT; the XUV300 front uses 0603BAB0045KT. Identify genuine pads by sealed Mahindra-branded packaging, a matching part number, hologram sticker, and GST invoice. Buy from authorised dealers or verified distributors.
Genuine Brake Pad Part Numbers by Mahindra Model
Always confirm the part number for your specific variant and year with an authorised dealer — variants within the same model often use different pads.

Why Variant Matters — Don't Order by Model Name Alone
The Scorpio table above makes this clear: S2/S3, S4+/S6/S10, and S11 all use different brake pads. The old Thar and the all-new Thar (2020+) are completely different specifications. A pad that looks similar and fits the caliper loosely may still be the wrong friction formulation and geometry — causing uneven wear and disc damage from first use.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Exact model name (Scorpio Classic vs Scorpio-N, Thar 3-door vs Thar ROXX, etc.)
- Variant designation (S2, S4+, S11, AX3, MX5, etc.)
- Year of manufacture
- Engine type where relevant (CRDe vs mHawk)
- Front or rear axle

How to Identify Genuine Mahindra Brake Pads
Counterfeit pads sold as "Mahindra genuine" through unofficial channels are a real safety risk. Check all of the following — no single indicator is sufficient on its own:
- Packaging: Sealed box with consistent Mahindra branding, corporate logo, and clear part number. Poor print quality or generic packaging is a red flag.
- Part number: Printed on packaging. Cross-check against the catalogue table above or confirm with a dealer. No part number = reject.
- Hologram sticker: Genuine Mahindra parts carry a tamper-proof hologram or genuine parts label.
- QR code: Some genuine kits include a scannable code verifiable via the Mahindra Genuine Parts app.
- GST invoice: Any legitimate dealer provides GST-compliant billing. No invoice = do not accept the part.
A brake pad kit selling at ₹500–₹800 for a model whose genuine MRP is ₹4,000+ is almost certainly not genuine.
Where to Buy Genuine Mahindra Brake Pads
Authorised Mahindra dealerships are the most reliable channel. They have direct supply chain access, provide GST invoicing, and can verify the correct part number using your chassis number. For vehicles under Mahindra's manufacturer warranty, this is the only channel that protects your warranty coverage.
WithYou Hamesha (Mahindra's customer platform) allows you to initiate a parts request digitally, fulfilled through a local authorised dealer.
Verified online distributors such as Boodmo list Mahindra parts with part number transparency and seller details. Always confirm a GST invoice will be provided.
Avoid: Open-market spare parts shops selling "Mahindra genuine" pads without packaging, without a matching part number, without a hologram, or at a price well below the catalogue MRP.
Shop brake pads for your Mahindra on AutoDecode — verify the part number and fitment before ordering.
Genuine OEM vs Aftermarket: What Should You Choose?
Choose genuine Mahindra brake pads if:
- Your vehicle is under warranty (required to protect it)
- Your Mahindra is used for off-road driving, towing, or regular heavy loads
- Your model/variant has limited verified aftermarket options
- The brake system is already showing symptoms (noise, pulling, vibration) — correct specification matters most here
Reputed aftermarket is a reasonable option if:
- The vehicle is out of warranty
- The brand explicitly confirms fitment for your exact model, variant, and year with a verified part number
- You're comparing a much higher genuine MRP against a verified aftermarket alternative
Avoid in either case: Unbranded, unlabelled, or implausibly cheap brake pads. On a Mahindra SUV weighing 1,500–2,200 kg depending on model, a counterfeit pad's cost saving is insignificant compared to the safety risk — reduced stopping power, brake fade under load, and disc damage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering by model name only — always confirm the variant and year
- Skipping disc inspection — check disc thickness and scoring at every pad replacement
- Replacing only one side — always replace both pads on the same axle together
- No GST invoice — genuine purchases always come with proper billing
4. FAQ Section
What are Mahindra genuine brake pads?
OEM-specification friction components developed and validated for specific Mahindra vehicles. They are supplied in model-specific kit formats through authorised dealers, matched to the caliper, disc, and friction specification of each vehicle.
Which brake pad fits the Mahindra Thar (all new)?
The all-new Thar (2020 onwards) uses part number 0603BAB0069KT, with a catalogue MRP of ₹4,017. The older Thar uses a different part number (0603BA0291N, shared with Scorpio CRDe). Confirm with your dealer using your chassis number.
Which brake pad fits the Mahindra Scorpio?
The Scorpio has multiple references by variant: S2/S3 use 0603BAB02941N, S4+/S6/S10 use 0603BAB02850N, and S11 uses 0603BAB0015KT. These are not interchangeable. Confirm your variant before ordering.
How do I verify a Mahindra brake pad is genuine?
Check for sealed Mahindra-branded packaging, a matching part number, a hologram sticker, and a QR code. Scan the QR code via the Mahindra Genuine Parts app if available. Always insist on a GST-compliant invoice from the seller.
Do I need to replace front and rear brake pads at the same time?
Not necessarily — but always replace both pads on the same axle together (left and right). Replacing only one side causes uneven braking and accelerated disc wear. The XUV300, for example, has separate part numbers for front (0603BAB0045KT) and rear (0603BAB0046KT).
