What the HTK+ (O) Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTK+ (O) Diesel AT comes to ₹12,47,780 on the road in Itanagar and ₹14,36,998 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,89,218 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 ₹11.86L ex-showroom this is the 19th of 23 Sonet variants by price, ₹11,000 above the HTX Turbo Petrol AT. The same HTK+ (O) features start at ₹2.14L less as the HTK+ (O) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HTX actually costs ₹35,000 less than this variant and buys all-wheel disc brakes and cruise control among 7 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, the HTX starts at ₹12.30L.
