Tata Motors Passes On Full GST 2.0 Benefit, Making Cars and SUVs Up to ₹1.55 Lakh Cheaper
In a major move to boost consumer confidence and make personal mobility more accessible, Tata Motors has announced that it will pass on the full benefits of the new GST 2.0 reforms to its customers. This translates to significant price reductions across the company’s entire passenger vehicle lineup, including popular cars and SUVs. The new prices will be effective from September 22, 2025, the date the revised GST rates come into effect.
According to Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., the GST reduction is a “progressive and timely decision” that will make cars more accessible for millions of Indians. He added that the company is fully committed to honoring the spirit of the reform by passing on the entire benefit to customers.
How the New GST 2.0 Regime Impacts Car Prices
The recent GST reforms have rationalized the tax structure for the automotive sector. Small cars (petrol engines up to 1200cc and diesel engines up to 1500cc, with a length not exceeding 4000mm) now fall under an 18% GST slab, down from the previous 28% GST plus additional cess. This has led to direct price cuts for entry-level models.
Larger vehicles, including mid-sized cars and SUVs, which were previously taxed at rates ranging from 43% to 50% due to a high cess, will now be subject to a flat 40% GST with no additional cess. While the headline GST rate is higher for these vehicles, the removal of the cess results in a reduced overall tax burden and a simpler pricing structure.

Tata Motors has released a list detailing the price reductions for its passenger vehicles, with cuts ranging from ₹65,000 to an impressive ₹1,55,000 on the Nexon. The reductions on other popular models are as follows:
- Tata Tiago: Up to ₹75,000
