Is the dearer Thar OG worth it in Arunachal Pradesh?

Mahindra Thar OG on-road price in Itanagar and across Arunachal Pradesh

These are the figures for every city in Arunachal Pradesh. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the AXT 1.5 Diesel MT costs the same ₹11,34,998 to put on the road in Itanagar as it does in Naharlagun. The only thing that moves between showrooms is the dealer handling charge, which is not a published figure — so it is not in any total on this page.

What Arunachal Pradesh charges

Arunachal Pradesh bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 2.5% to 6.5%. The AXT 1.5 Diesel MT pays ₹36,120 of road tax on its ₹10,32,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,858 of cess — the ₹37,978 the table shows. That cess is 0.18% of ex-showroom, and we bill it because it appears at exactly that rate on every invoice we checked, in all 36 states and union territories. We have not found the notification that sets it, so we describe it rather than name it.

The tax boundary to watch in Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh re-rates the whole price once a car crosses a band, so a small move up the range can cost several times its ex-showroom difference. On the Mahindra Thar OG, 3 variants do this.

• ZXT 1.5 Diesel MT → LXT 2.2 Diesel MT 4WD

  ₹2,43,500 more ex-showroom becomes ₹2,75,284 more on the road — ₹31,784 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 3.5% to 4%.

• LXT 2.2 Diesel AT 4WD → ZXT 2.2 Diesel AT 4WD

  ₹99,500 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,19,124 more on the road — ₹19,624 of it from crossing the ₹18,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 4% to 4.5%.

• LXT 2.0 Turbo Petrol AT → LXT 2.0 Turbo Petrol MT 4WD

  ₹83,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹98,831 more on the road — ₹15,831 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 3.5% to 4%.

Worth knowing before you pick a trim: our verdict on whether the equipment justifies the gap is based on the ex-showroom difference, and in Arunachal Pradesh these upgrades cost more than that.
