He was using his creation to ferry people from one place to another. The video of him doing so on his homemade Jeep went viral and soon came to Anand Mahindra's notice. Impressed by the innovation and "jugaad" and concerned about the safety measures, he decided on gifting a Mahindra Bolero to Lohar.
He made this announcement on Twitter in December 2021. The promise made last year has now been fulfilled, and Lohar received the new vehicle wholeheartedly. Anand Mahindra's recent tweet has confirmed the news.
The 'jugaad,' which was purchased in exchange for the new Bolero, will be stored and displayed at Mahindra's Research Valley. This vehicle was maintained on display in the hopes of inspiring Mahindra's engineers to create innovative improvements with limited resources and expenditures.
