Mahindra Thar OG on-road price in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and across Karnataka
These are the figures for every city in Karnataka. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the AXT 1.5 Diesel MT costs the same ₹12,94,616 to put on the road in Bengaluru as it does in Belagavi. 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 Karnataka charges
Karnataka bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 13% to 18%. Karnataka also charges an 11% cess on the tax and a ₹1,000 registration cess. The AXT 1.5 Diesel MT pays ₹1,75,440 of road tax and ₹20,298 of those levies on its ₹10,32,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,858 of cess — the ₹1,97,596 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.
| Ex-showroom band | Petrol | Diesel | CNG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹5,00,000 | 13% | 14% | 13% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 14% | 14% | 14% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 17% | 17% | 17% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 18% | 18% | 17% |
Karnataka taxes diesel up to 1 percentage point higher than petrol, so the same trim costs more to register on that fuel here than the ex-showroom gap suggests.
