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.

In the meantime, Neeraj also posted a picture of himself with the newly-delivered car and thanked Mahindra for it.
Thank you @anandmahindra ji for the new set of wheels with some very special customisation! I'm looking forward to taking the car out for a spin very soon. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/doNwgOPogp

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.
Mahindra had also said that he would like to dedicate and gift the first SUV for those with disabilities to 19-year-old shooter Avani Lekhara who became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal at the Paralympics.
