Carmakers Cut Prices After GST Overhaul, With Kia, Tata, Mahindra and JSW MG Detailing Pass-Through Plans

The reworked GST slabs lower taxes on sub‑4‑meter cars and lift levies on larger models, setting up a demand shift toward entry segments ahead of the festive season.

Overview

  • Kia India said it will pass the full benefit to buyers, reducing six ICE models by ₹48,513 to ₹4.48 lakh, with new prices effective 22 September.
  • Tata Motors announced portfolio-wide reductions effective 22 September, including about ₹1.55 lakh off the Nexon and sizable cuts on Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Punch, Harrier and Safari.
  • Mahindra & Mahindra is applying the GST benefit at dealerships ahead of 22 September, with Thar Roxx variants trimmed by roughly ₹81,200 to ₹1.32 lakh.
  • JSW MG Motor India began passing on the benefit from 7 September, making Astor, Hector and Gloster available at the revised tax impact immediately.
  • Maruti Suzuki has not yet published revised prices, though its chairman signaled cuts for entry models, and analysts expect sub‑4‑meter cars to strengthen from a roughly 61% sales base.
