Maruti Ertiga on-road price in Kochi (Cochin) and across Kerala
These are the figures for every city in Kerala. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the LXi 1.5 Petrol MT costs the same ₹10,54,902 to put on the road in Kochi as it does in Kannur. 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 Kerala charges
Kerala bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 10% to 22%. The LXi 1.5 Petrol MT pays ₹1,15,700 of road tax on its ₹8,90,000 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,602 of cess — the ₹1,17,302 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 | 10% | 13% | 10% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 13% | 13% | 13% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹15,00,000 | 15% | 15% | 15% |
| ₹15,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 17% | 17% | 15% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 22% | 22% | 15% |
Kerala taxes diesel up to 3 percentage points higher than petrol, so the same trim costs more to register on that fuel here than the ex-showroom gap suggests.
The tax boundary to watch in Kerala
Kerala 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 Maruti Ertiga, one variant does this.
VXi 1.5 Petrol MT → ZXi 1.5 Petrol MT
₹1,06,200 more ex-showroom becomes ₹1,58,552 more on the road — ₹52,352 of it from crossing the ₹10,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 13% to 15% and 1% TCS starts applying.
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 Kerala these upgrades cost more than that.
