What the HTK+ Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTK+ Diesel MT comes to ₹17,27,940 on the road in Itanagar and ₹19,71,618 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,43,678 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹16.32L ex-showroom this is the 13th of 28 Carens Clavis variants by price, ₹2,000 above the HTK+ (O) Turbo Petrol MT. The same HTK+ features start at ₹1.04L less as the HTK+ Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HTK+ (O) actually costs ₹2,000 less than this variant and buys wheel size (17" against 16") and wireless phone charger. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the HTK+ (O) starts at ₹17.10L.

That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.

- Is the HTK+ the right Carens Clavis to buy?
