The great Indian sale: It’s raining discounts for car buyers
Financial Express Mumbai
|September 16, 2025
On offer is a mix of reduced tax rate and bundled dealer discounts to clear inventory before September 22
WITH LESS THAN a week left for the revised GST slabs on automobiles to come into effect, carmakers are scrambling to push existing inventory by extending new GST equivalent benefits on current stock. The offers, a mix of official price reductions and bundled dealer discounts, have led to a deluge of benefits for buyers.
The deals being rolled out cover everything from entry-level hatchbacks to high-end SUVs, with price cuts starting at around %65,000 and running all the way up to ₹30.4 lakh. In many cases, the final price being offered today is lower than what buyers are likely to pay once the revised GST actually kicks in on September 22.
