What the AXT Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the AXT Diesel MT comes to ₹10,87,620 on the road in Itanagar and ₹12,52,398 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,64,778 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.

₹10.32L ex-showroom Delhi makes this the cheapest Thar there is, ₹2.67L below the next one up. AXT is sold this one way, as the Diesel 6-speed manual. Stepping up to LXT from here starts at ₹2.67L more and buys tyre pressure monitor and rear parking camera among 11 additions.
