MG Astor on-road price in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu
These are the figures for every city in Tamil Nadu. Road tax is set by the state, not the city, so the Sprint 1.5 Petrol MT costs the same ₹11,60,200 to put on the road in Chennai as it does in Coimbatore. 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 Tamil Nadu charges
Tamil Nadu bands the rate by ex-showroom price, from 12% to 20%. The Sprint 1.5 Petrol MT pays ₹1,27,283 of road tax on its ₹9,79,100 ex-showroom price, plus ₹1,762 of cess — the ₹1,29,045 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 | 12% | 13% | 12% |
| ₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 | 13% | 13% | 13% |
| ₹10,00,000 – ₹20,00,000 | 18% | 18% | 18% |
| Above ₹20,00,000 | 20% | 20% | 18% |
Tamil Nadu 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.
The tax boundary to watch in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu 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 MG Astor, one variant does this.
Sprint 1.5 Petrol MT → Shine 1.5 Petrol MT
₹1,55,000 more ex-showroom becomes ₹2,51,225 more on the road — ₹96,225 of it from crossing the ₹10,00,000 line, where the rate goes from 13% to 18% 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 Tamil Nadu these upgrades cost more than that.
