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
