Maruti Cars After GST Cut: On-Road Price Impact on 5 Popular Models

The Government of India has revised GST rates recently, offering great comfort to the car buyers across the country. By abolishing the compensation cess and restructuring tax slabs, buyers can now obtain their cars for lower prices especially in the small car and sedan categories, the stronghold in the Indian market of Maruti Suzuki cars.

For the buyer, this represents a reduction in ex-showroom prices; however, since registration fees, road tax and insurance are all linked to the ex-showroom value, the real figure that the buyer will pay in one go in addition to the new price as a result of GST cut is the on-road price.

Let’s take a further look at some of the best-selling cars from Maruti Suzuki and see how much buyers will benefit from the ex-showroom price drops, along with some examples from the market in New Delhi.
