Mahindra Thar OG on-road price in Chandigarh

Road tax is set by the state, not the dealer, so the AXT 1.5 Diesel MT costs ₹12,02,078 to put on the road anywhere in Chandigarh. 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 Chandigarh charges

Chandigarh bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 10% to 12%. The AXT 1.5 Diesel MT pays ₹1,03,200 of road tax on its ₹10,32,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,858 of cess — the ₹1,05,058 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 Chandigarh

Chandigarh 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, 2 variants do this.

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

    ₹2,43,500 more ex-showroom becomes ₹3,15,749 more on the road — ₹72,249 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 10% to 12%.

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

    ₹83,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,27,619 more on the road — ₹44,619 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 10% to 12%.

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 Chandigarh these upgrades cost more than that.
