Anand Mahindra gifts XUV700 to Neeraj Chopra

Ultimately Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has kept his promise of gifting the company's SUV XUV700 to Neeraj Chopra. Sumit Antil delivered the vehicles to the javelin thrower.

In a tweet, the official handle of Mahindra XUV700 committed that it delivered the first-ever personalised vehicle to Antil and also posted a picture of him with XUV700.

Responding to the tweet, Mahindra said, "Thank you for giving us the privilege of sharing our very own 'Javelin' with you! May the Force be with you …always."

In the meantime, Neeraj also posted a picture of himself with the newly-delivered car and thanked Mahindra for it.

Chopra won a historic gold medal for India in the javelin throw event at Tokyo Olympics earlier this year. And Mahindra had said that it would be an honour for him to gift Mahindra XUV700 to him. Similarly, after javelin thrower Antil won a gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics, Mahindra had said that the company would be privileged to gift him a 'Javelin edition' of XUV 700.
