Mahindra CJ 340/540 DP – collective page outside the named ranges: the Jeep CJ-derived off-roaders built under licence in India, four-cylinder engines, kerb weight 1,140 to 1,280 kg, gross weight 1,760 to 1,810 kg
Mahindra & Mahindra, based in Mumbai, built Jeep CJ-derived off-roaders under licence from the 1940s onward and developed its own models from them; the versions CJ-340 DP and CJ 540 DP listed here carry that type designation forward. This collective page covers them as versions the register could not assign to a range of their own. The models listed in the register thus show the continuity of the CJ range across several decades, during which Mahindra developed them technically step by step.

The register lists 2 versions here with four-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 1,140 to 1,280 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,760 to 1,810 kg and widths from 1,550 to 1,580 mm.
As rugged, light off-roaders with a flatbed or utility body (DP), the CJ models were widespread in India and neighbouring markets in agriculture, the military and rural transport, where simplicity and ease of repair mattered more than comfort. The close technical kinship with the original Willys Jeep design meant many mechanical parts remained compatible across decades, easing servicing and repair under simple conditions.
When buying a used Mahindra CJ, check corrosion on the ladder frame and body, the condition of the axles and transfer case, the function of the mechanical brake system, and the sealing of the canopy or body; because of its kinship with the Jeep CJ, parts are partly available through suppliers of reproduction parts for classic off-roaders. Before buying it is also worth checking the sealing of the simple electrics against moisture and the condition of the steering system and gearbox.
