Tata Tiago Price After GST Cut
Every so often, something happens in the automobile world that really shakes things up. September 2025 turned out to be one of those moments, thanks to the government’s big GST decision. So yes, the Tata Tiago suddenly got a whole lot cheaper, and if that's not a reason for a collective “Finally!” across budget-conscious households, I don’t know what is.
How Much Cheaper Are We Talking?
Straight to the good stuff: the GST on small cars like the Tiago dropped from 29% to 18%. The upshot? New Tiago prices are down by up to ₹75,000 across different variants. That’s not just a discount. That’s the entire vacation money, or the perfect reason to finally opt for the alloy wheels instead of steel ones.
Frankly, when I walked into the dealership last weekend, just browsing, mind you, the energy was palpable. People were doing that math in their heads, glancing all suspiciously hopeful at the price boards. One uncle even called his wife on video, turned the camera towards the XT variant, and said, “See? We can actually do this now!” She didn’t need convincing.
The New Price Tags: Actually Easy on the Pocket
Tiago now starts at about ₹4.57 lakh ex-showroom. Let that linger for a second. There was a time anything under five lakh was a ‘tiny car’now with features, proper build, and real space, Tiago is legitimately accessible. Here’s how the prices roughly shake out:
| Variant | Old Price | New Price | Price Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| XE | ₹4.99 L | ₹4.57 L | ₹42,000 |
| XM | ₹5.80 L | ₹5.30 L | ₹50,000 |
| XT | ₹6.35 L | ₹5.81 L | ₹54,000 |
| XTA | ₹6.90 L | ₹6.31 L | ₹59,000 |
Add festive deals and the savings climb even higher, sometimes hitting that magical ₹1.2 lakh total, depending on city, dealer, and luck.
Why Is This a Big Deal For Buyers?
So, the GST cut isn’t just about numbers. Suddenly, Tiago isn’t just “a budget option.” It’s a legit contender for families upgrading from two-wheelers, first cars for fresh jobbers, or seniors finally retiring the old Maruti.
A friend, Priya, who’d been stuck between used and new, said the post-GST price made her reconsider everything. She called up her old driving instructor for test drives (side note: this guy thinks every car above 800cc is basically a rocket). Even the instructors are excited!

You get more car, less EMI stress.
-
It’s actually possible to pay for higher trims now, not just settle.
-
Lower ex-showroom means less insurance, less tax, less everything.
But Wait, Is There a Catch?
Let’s be real there are always “tiny” details to keep in mind. Local taxes and insurance can add up, and dealers sometimes tweak offer structures. And in some cities, a quick surge in demand means waiting periods expand faster than an auntie’s wedding guest list.
It helps to check with dealers for variant availability. Hoping for a blue XTA? Might need to book fast. Oh, and true story: one young couple in line ahead of me at the dealership started planning their weekend road trip before signing any paperwork. Spontaneous decisions FTW.
