The Tata Safari is Tata Motors' flagship SUV. It combines premium features, spacious interiors, and a commanding road presence. Powered by the proven 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel engine, the Safari offers manual and automatic transmission choices, along with six- and seven-seat configurations.

Until now, the Safari attracted one of the highest GST slabs due to its large size and powerful diesel engine, standing at 28% GST plus 22% cess (50% total tax). With the rollout of the GST 2.0 reforms effective from September 22, 2025, the cess has been scrapped and replaced with a flat 40% GST.

This change directly benefits Safari buyers, as all trims—from entry-level to fully loaded variants—will see a healthy reduction in ex-showroom prices. This price drop makes the Safari even more appealing.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Tata Safari?

The Safari’s price cut is a direct result of the GST 2.0 reforms. By removing the cess and applying a uniform 40% GST, the government has lowered the tax burden on full-size SUVs. The following table highlights this tax revision.
