India’s New GST 2.0 Fuels Car Price Drops: Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, Mahindra, and Toyota Lead the Way

With the introduction of the GST 2.0 framework, Mercedes-Benz India has reduced prices across its entire range of cars and SUVs. This tax reform, effective September 22, 2025, simplifies vehicle taxation, applying a flat 40% GST to passenger cars, replacing the prior system. This effectively lowers the cost of premium and luxury vehicles. Electric vehicles continue to benefit from a concessional GST rate. Mercedes-Benz will ensure that customers receive the full advantage of the tax cuts, enhancing affordability during the festive season.
