Mahindra Thar OG on-road price in Shillong and across Meghalaya
These are the figures for every city in Meghalaya. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the AXT 1.5 Diesel MT costs the same ₹11,60,798 to put on the road in Shillong as it does in Tura. 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 Meghalaya charges
Meghalaya bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 6% to 10%. The AXT 1.5 Diesel MT pays ₹61,920 of road tax on its ₹10,32,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,858 of cess — the ₹63,778 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 ₹15,00,000 | 6% | 6% | 6% |
| ₹15,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 8% | 8% | 6% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 10% | 10% | 6% |
The tax boundary to watch in Meghalaya
Meghalaya 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 ₹3,06,009 more on the road — ₹62,509 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 6% to 8%.
LXT 2.0 Turbo Petrol AT → LXT 2.0 Turbo Petrol MT 4WD
₹83,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,24,299 more on the road — ₹41,299 of it from crossing the ₹15,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 6% to 8%.
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 Meghalaya these upgrades cost more than that.
