What the Smart CNG MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Smart CNG MT comes to ₹7,19,890 on the road in Itanagar and ₹8,06,789 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹86,899 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 ₹6.85L ex-showroom this is the third of 26 Punch variants by price, ₹20,000 above the Pure Petrol MT. The same Smart features start at ₹1.10L less as the Smart Petrol MT; the extra here buys the CNG with the 5-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest Pure actually costs ₹20,000 less than this variant and buys 4 speakers and rear defogger among 3 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the CNG with the 5-speed manual, the Pure starts at ₹7.68L.

Tata Punch Smart: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Tata Punch Smart CNG MT?
- ₹6.85L, ex-showroom. That makes it 3rd of 26 by price, ₹20,000 above the Pure Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Tata Punch Smart CNG MT?
- Expect ₹7,19,890 in Itanagar and ₹8,06,789 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹86,899 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Tata Punch Smart CNG MT have?
- The CNG, 73 PS, with the 5-speed manual.
- What features does the Tata Punch Smart CNG MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Airbags (6), Electronic stability control, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, Tyre pressure monitor, Headlamps (LED projector) and Wheel size (15").
- What does the Tata Punch Smart CNG MT miss out on?
- The Pure above it adds 4 speakers, rear defogger and height-adjustable driver seat, for ₹20,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the Pure though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹83,000 more.
- Is the Smart the right Punch to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Tata Punch which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
