India’s Festive Car Price Reset Rolls Out Deep Discounts as Buyers Flock to Showrooms

Automakers are stacking GST 2.0 tax reductions with limited-time dealer schemes to convert Navratri demand.

Overview

  • Top-end benefits now peak at Rs 5.05 lakh on Hyundai’s Ioniq 5, with broad cuts across segments that include up to Rs 4 lakh on the MG Gloster and up to Rs 2.25 lakh on the Kia Seltos, according to Autocar India.
  • The GST 2.0 regime that took effect on September 22 has lowered many ex-showroom prices, and brands are layering cash, exchange and scrappage incentives on top of the tax-linked reductions.
  • Model-specific examples include combined savings of up to Rs 1.94 lakh on the Tata Harrier, roughly Rs 2.15 lakh on the Mahindra Scorpio N and up to Rs 70,000 on the Hyundai Venue.
  • Early Navratri turnout is strong, with Maruti Suzuki delivering over 25,000 cars on day one, Tata Motors delivering more than 10,000 and Hyundai logging over 11,000 dealer bookings.
  • Advertised figures vary by variant and location, so buyers are being advised to confirm on-road pricing, eligibility and stock with authorised dealers.
