What the Emotion E-Tech Hybrid AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Emotion E-Tech Hybrid AT comes to ₹20,75,081 on the road in Itanagar and ₹23,65,897 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,90,816 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 ₹19.49L ex-showroom this is the dearest of the Duster's 14 variants, ₹50,000 over the Techno E-Tech Hybrid AT beneath it. Emotion E-Tech is sold this one way, as the Hybrid multi-mode hybrid automatic. There is no trim above Emotion E-Tech: money spent past this point buys powertrain, not equipment.
More about the Emotion E-Tech trim
Only Rs 50,000 over the hybrid Techno for ventilated, 6-way powered front seats, leather, the 10.25in digital cluster, diamond-cut alloys and a powered tailgate. If you are already at Techno money, this is the easy stretch.
