Worth knowing before you sign
- The step from the HTX(A) Diesel AT to the GTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT crosses Telangana's ₹20 lakh line: ₹6,000 more ex-showroom, but ₹41,080 more road tax, because the whole price moves from 18% to 20%.
- The HTE Diesel MT is ₹2,30,860 more on the road here than the HTE Petrol MT, and ₹34,920 of that is Telangana's road tax.
- On the Kia Seltos HTE Petrol MT, Hyderabad is 2nd dearest of 25 states: ₹1,70,000 over Arunachal Pradesh and ₹5,570 under Karnataka.
Which Seltos to buy
HTX to HTX(A) buys you as much for your money as any paid step up this ladder. Another step asks exactly the same per rupee, so which of them you take is about which trim you want to be on. In Hyderabad that step costs ₹1,30,900 on the road, rather than the ₹1,10,000 the showroom prices suggest.

The fine print
- Road tax (18%)
- Sixth Schedule as substituted by G.O.Ms.No.53 TR&B dated 13-08-2025, in force from 14-08-2025, READ IN FULL 2026-10-28 and all five bands confirmed word for word: 13% below Rs 5L, 14% from Rs 5L to below Rs 10L, 18% from Rs 10L to below Rs 20L, 20% from Rs 20L to below Rs 50L, 21% above Rs 50L, at the time of registration of a new vehicle. Notified under section 17 of the TSMVT Act 1963 for publication in the Telangana Gazette of 13-08-2025. The schedule makes NO FUEL DISTINCTION: it taxes three and four wheeler non-transport motor vehicles as one class, so petrol, diesel, CNG and hybrid all sit in these bands. NEWER than most aggregator tables (17% band became 18%, two bands added above Rs 20L)
- Road safety cess
- Telangana Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Act 2026, read 2026-10-28 as L.A. Bill No. 5 of 2026 printed in the Telangana Gazette Part IV-A Extraordinary No. 5 of 02-01-2026. Its new section 3-C levies a road safety cess in addition to the tax levied under section 3, and its new Ninth Schedule sets a one-time cess collected at the registration of a new vehicle of Rs 5,000 on a non-transport light motor vehicle, excepting only agricultural tractors and tractor-trailers, and Rs 10,000 on other vehicles that are neither motor cycles nor light motor vehicles. A private car is a light motor vehicle under section 2(21) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988. NOT in the document: the commencement date, which section 1(2) leaves to a notification, and any confirmation that the Act passed unamended. Both rest on six publishers reporting commencement on 01-03-2026 by a G.O. of 25-02-2026 and the same three figures: The South First, Telangana Today, Siasat, Newsage, Deccan Chronicle and NewsMeter. Whether an electric car is exempt is unstated by every source read
- Registration fee (central)
- CMVR Rule 81, as amended by GSR 1183(E) dated 29-12-2016
- TCS (1%, adjustable against your income tax)
- Income-tax Act 1961 s.206C(1F) from 1 June 2016, and from 1 April 2026 s.394(1) of the Income-tax Act 2025 at the same rate and threshold (renumbering reported, not read from the Act); creditable against the buyer's income tax
- Third-party insurance (3 years, incl. 18% GST)
- Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules 2022, G.S.R. 394(E) dated 25-05-2022, as amended by G.S.R. 32(E) dated 05-01-2024; both gazettes read from egazette.gov.in. PA cover per IRDAI circular IRDAI/NL/CIR/MOTP/158/09/2018
- Personal accident cover (1 year, incl. 18% GST)
- Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules 2022, G.S.R. 394(E) dated 25-05-2022, as amended by G.S.R. 32(E) dated 05-01-2024; both gazettes read from egazette.gov.in. PA cover per IRDAI circular IRDAI/NL/CIR/MOTP/158/09/2018
- The Rs 15 lakh owner-driver cover is mandatory; this prescribed rate is what most insurers charge for the annual form.
- FASTag
- Tag cost only. Issuers add a deposit and minimum balance; dealer bundles commonly total Rs 500-600.
- Comprehensive own-damage cover
- Not in this total. Lenders require it and most buyers take it, but it has been market-priced since 2007 and varies widely with insurer, cover value and no-claim bonus, so an honest single figure does not exist. Budget for it from real quotes on top of this total.
- Figures are for an individual's first vehicle; a second personal vehicle pays 2 points more and company-owned cars pay the higher Seventh Schedule rates.
- The Rs 5,000 road safety cess, charged once when a new vehicle is registered, is included for every car here. Telangana waives road tax and the registration fee on an electric car bought before 2027, and nothing published says whether that waiver covers this cess too, so an electric buyer may pay Rs 5,000 less than we show.
- The state's own tax exemptions page still carries a 1993 order exempting battery, CNG and solar vehicles from tax for five years, and nothing we can read says whether it reaches a new CNG car today. Telangana's rate schedule, which we have now read, charges every fuel the same, so that is what we charge a CNG car; if the old order still applies, a CNG buyer pays less than this.
Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.

Questions buyers ask
What is the Kia Seltos on-road price in Hyderabad?
Between ₹13,28,340 for the HTE Petrol MT and ₹26,59,560 for the X-Line(O) Diesel AT, as of October 2026. That covers Telangana road tax, registration and the mandatory insurance; comprehensive own-damage cover is priced by insurers and comes on top.
How much is the road tax on the Kia Seltos in Hyderabad?
₹1,98,000 on the HTE Petrol MT at ₹11.00L ex-showroom. The rate comes from Telangana's own schedule (Sixth Schedule as substituted by G.O.Ms.No.53 TR&B dated 13-08-2025, in force from 14-08-2025, READ IN FULL 2026-10-28 and all five bands confirmed word for word: 13% below Rs 5L, 14% from Rs 5L to below Rs 10L, 18% from Rs 10L to below Rs 20L, 20% from Rs 20L to below Rs 50L, 21% above Rs 50L, at the time of registration of a new vehicle.

NEWER than most aggregator tables (17% band became 18%, two bands added above Rs 20L)), verified on 28 October 2026.
Is the Kia Seltos cheaper on-road in another city of Telangana?
No. Telangana sets these charges, so the same figures apply in Warangal and Nizamabad: registering in a different city of the state does not change them.
Which number plate series does the Kia Seltos registered in Hyderabad get?
Cars registered in Hyderabad carry TG-09, TG-10, TG-11, TG-12, TG-13 or TG-14 plates, depending on which RTO office covers your address. The series belongs to the office, not the car, so every vehicle registered there wears it (Telangana Gazette No. 157, G.O.Ms.No.11 TR&B (Tr.I) dated 14-03-2024, assigning registering authority codes after the TG series replaced TS; zone-to-code mapping from the department's zone-wise number reservation lists and district offices directory, checked 9 August 2026).
