Intro

Tata Motors is cutting prices across hatchbacks and SUVs from September 22, and will pass on the entire benefit to customers – why it matters: popular models just got more affordable ahead of the festive season. Under GST 2.0, small cars move to 18% slab, and Tata says reductions will be up to ₹1.55 lakh depending on the model and variant.

What’s getting cheaper, and by how much

Tata’s official guidance is Nexon up to ₹1.55 lakh, Harrier up to ₹1.40 lakh, Safari up to ₹1.45 lakh, Altroz up to ₹1.10 lakh and Punch up to ₹85,000; Tiago and Tigor up to ₹75,000 and ₹80,000 respectively. These reductions are effective from September 22, 2025, when the new GST rates kick in nationwide, coinciding with the festive season.

Why prices are falling now

The GST Council’s revamp puts small ICE cars in 18% slab (from 28%), sharply reducing on-road prices for sub-4m, ≤1,200 cc petrol and ≤1,500 cc diesel segments, while EVs remain at 5% GST; bigger vehicles have different treatment under the new structure. Automakers, including Tata Motors, are using the new slabs to recalibrate ex-showroom prices and explicitly pass on the tax savings to customers.

Nexon, Harrier, Safari: top-line gains

For those shortlisting compact and mid-size SUVs, the top-line figure is the Nexon’s up to ₹1.55 lakh reduction, which makes a big difference in the segment against rivals going through similar GST changes. Harrier’s up to ₹1.40 lakh and Safari’s up to ₹1.45 lakh cuts make their price-to-spec more attractive – useful if looking for higher trims without stretching the budget.

Hatchbacks and entry pricing

Entry models don’t miss out: Tiago trimmed by up to ₹75,000 and Altroz by up to ₹1.10 lakh bring down monthly EMIs and on-road prices, especially for first-time buyers in metro and Tier-2 cities. Punch’s up to ₹85,000 reduction further strengthens its case among aspirational buyers looking for SUV stance with hatchback economics.

What to do next

Dealer will confirm variant-wise pricing so booking early will help in getting preferred colors and trims during the festive rush expected after Sept 22. Note that taxes and fees vary by state so on-road savings may vary even with uniform ex-showroom reductions.

Closing

With the GST change happening just before the festive season, the Tata Motors price cut opens up feature-rich trims on Nexon, Harrier, Safari, Altroz, Punch, Tiago and Tigor – can’t be ignored for budget buyers. Expect pricing to be recalibrated across the market but Tata’s published reductions are the benchmark for negotiation and comparison post-Sept 22.
