On-road price guide for new cars

Learn what makes up the on-road price of a new car in Kolkata and how to check each line of a showroom quotation.

What is the on-road price?

The on-road price is the total you pay to take a new car home and drive it legally. It is always higher than the ex-showroom price advertised by the manufacturer.

The lines that make it up

  • Ex-showroom price. The price of the vehicle before registration and insurance.
  • RTO and registration. Road tax, registration and related fees. These depend on state rules, the vehicle price and fuel type, and they can change.
  • Insurance. The first-year policy. The premium depends on the insured value, add-ons and insurer.
  • Other charges. Items such as handling, FASTag, accessories, extended warranty or fitments, where applicable.
  • Discounts. Dealer or manufacturer offers that reduce the total.

How to check a quotation

  1. Ask for the quotation in writing, with every line itemised.
  2. Confirm the exact variant, colour and fuel type.
  3. Check that insurance and accessories are what you agreed to, not bundled by default.
  4. Ask which lines are fixed (such as taxes) and which are negotiable.
  5. Compare at least two quotations line by line, not only the final total.
