Car buyers across India can take a sigh of relief in this festive season since the GST 2.0 reforms have significantly impacted car prices. These reforms have come at a good time for the automobile sector, which has been facing a difficult time due to a slump in sales. GST 2.0 reforms mainly include a revision in Tax rates on cars.
These new tax rates have reduced the price range of all categories of cars, like for hatchbacks, the new tax slabs translate to a Rs. 40,000 saving. Whereas for the Premium Luxury SUV, the benefit translates to an unbelievable Rs. 30 Lakhs. Industry experts are already calling these tax revisions as one of the biggest price revisions in the Indian automobile sector.
Potential car buyers will find their favourite car models pinch their pockets a little less. Since companies like Maruti Suzuki to Range Rover’s high-end SUVs, and even Hyundai automobiles, customers will see substantial savings. Here’s a brand-wise breakdown of price cuts.
