The Maruti Alto K10 has long been one of India’s most popular entry-level hatchbacks, appealing to buyers who prioritise affordability, reliability, and low running costs. Known for its peppy performance in city traffic, frugal fuel efficiency, and Maruti Suzuki’s widespread service network, the Alto K10 has consistently been a preferred choice among first-time car buyers and small families alike.

With the recent changes to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure for passenger vehicles, the Alto K10 has become even more attractive. The Indian government’s revision of GST from 28% + cess to 18% with no cess on small cars has resulted in a direct reduction in ex-showroom prices. This makes the Alto K10 not only more affordable but also reinforces its position as one of the best value-for-money cars in the market today.

In this article, we break down the new variant-wise prices of the Maruti Alto K10 after the GST cut, compare them with the old prices, and explain why this change has come into effect.

Maruti Alto K10 (CNG Variants) New Prices after the GST Cut

The Alto K10 is also offered with a factory-fitted CNG option, which has proven extremely popular among urban buyers who want the lowest running costs possible. With rising fuel prices, the CNG variants already had an edge in terms of efficiency and savings. Now, thanks to the GST cut, these variants have become more affordable upfront as well.

Alto K10 Variant	Old Price (Ex-showroom)	New Price (Ex-showroom)	Reduction	Reduction (%)
LXI CNG 1L 5MT	₹5,89,501	₹5,39,233	₹50,268	8.53
VXI CNG 1L 5MT	₹6,20,500	₹5,67,590	₹52,910	8.53

For buyers who primarily drive within the city and cover high daily mileage, the CNG Alto K10 becomes an even stronger case. The lower purchase price, combined with ultra-low running costs, makes it one of the most economical cars on sale in India today.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Maruti Alto K10?

The price reduction is the result of the government’s decision to revise the GST structure on small cars. Until now, small cars have attracted a GST rate of 28% along with an additional cess.

With the new policy, small cars like the Alto K10—classified as vehicles with an engine capacity below 1.2 litres and length under 4 metres—now fall under a much lower tax bracket. Instead of 28% GST + cess, these cars are now taxed at a flat 18% with no cess.

Here’s a quick look at the old GST + cess rates vs the new rates for small cars like the Alto K10.

Category	Old GST	Old Cess	Old Total Tax	New GST	New Total Tax	Change in Tax
Small cars (under 4m, ≤1,200cc petrol/CNG)	28%	1%	29%	18%	18%	11% lower than before

When are the new rates applicable?

The new GST rates are applicable from 22 September 2025. From this date onwards, all cars billed from dealerships will be priced under the revised GST structure.

This means that if you plan to buy a Maruti Alto K10 after this date, you will directly benefit from the lower ex-showroom prices. Depending on the variant, the Maruti Alto K10 gets a price cut of up to ₹52,000.

Disclaimer: The new prices mentioned in this article are tentative and based on the revised GST rates applicable from 22 September 2025. Final ex-showroom prices may vary slightly as manufacturers and dealerships update their pricing structures in line with the new taxation policy.
