The Maruti Suzuki Celerio has built its reputation in the Indian car market as a practical, stylish, and efficient hatchback. Known for introducing the country to affordable AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) technology, the Celerio has been a go-to choice for urban buyers seeking comfort, convenience, and low running costs. Compact in size but generous on features, it continues to be a smart buy for first-time car owners and small families.
Now, the Celerio has become even more affordable following the government’s revision of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on small cars. From 22 September 2025, the GST rate has been reduced from 28% plus cess to a flat 18% with no cess. This significant tax cut has translated into a direct reduction in the ex-showroom price across all Celerio variants, making it an even more compelling option in the budget hatchback space.
In this article, we explore the old vs new prices of the Maruti Celerio, break down the changes across variants, and highlight why this GST revision has been implemented.
