With the festive season on the horizon, here’s a timely and compelling update: Tata Nexon, India’s favorite sub-4 m SUV, has become dramatically more affordable. Tata Motors has passed on the full benefit of India’s new GST tax reform—GST 2.0—resulting in price cuts of up to ₹1.55 lakh. This makes it a golden opportunity for buyers considering petrol, diesel, or CNG versions of the Nexon. Read on for all the details before you make your move!
What’s Behind the Price Drop?
The GST Council recently overhauled the tax structure for automobiles under the new GST 2.0 framework, effective September 22, 2025. Here’s the breakdown:
- Sub-4-m cars (petrol/LPG/CNG up to 1,200 cc, diesel up to 1,500 cc) now attract a flat 18% GST with no cess, down from the previous 28% plus additional cess.
- Larger vehicles now fall under a flat 40% GST, with the cess removed—down from as much as 50% total tax earlier.
Tata Motors has decided to pass on the entire benefit of these lower GST rates to consumers, allowing buyers to save significantly, especially in the sub-4 m SUV category.

The Nexon stands out with one of the biggest price reductions among Tata’s lineup. Here’s what buyers can expect:
