The Government of India’s new GST revision for small cars under 1,200 cc engine capacity and 4,000 mm length has made compact SUVs like the Tata Punch more affordable.

Earlier, these cars attracted 28% GST + 1% cess (29%). With the new policy, the tax rate has dropped to 18% flat, reducing ex-showroom prices across all Punch variants.

This translates to savings ranging between ₹55,000–₹75,000 for buyers, depending on the variant.

Competitor Price Check After GST Cut
