What the Excite Electric 17.4 kWh AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Excite Electric 17.4 kWh AT comes to ₹9,38,657 on the road in Aizawl and ₹10,35,992 in Patna.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹97,335 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 8 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out 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 ₹9.27L ex-showroom this is the third of 5 Comet EV variants by price, ₹27,000 above the Excite Electric 17.3 kWh AT. The same Excite features start at ₹27,000 less as the Excite Electric 17.3 kWh AT; the extra here buys the Electric with the single-speed automatic. Stepping up to Exclusive from here starts at ₹63,000 more and buys electronic stability control and all-wheel disc brakes among 6 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Electric with the single-speed automatic, the Exclusive starts at ₹10.17L.
