Maruti Alto K10 has always been one of India’s most trusted small cars. Now, with the implementation of GST 2.0 from September 22, 2025, buyers can enjoy significant savings. The updated tax rates directly reduce prices, making this hatchback even more attractive for budget-conscious families and first-time car buyers.
New GST Rules and Their Effect on Alto K10
Under GST 2.0, cars with engines below 1200cc and length under 4 meters now fall in the reduced tax slab. The rate has come down from 28% to 18%. Since Alto K10 fits this category, its prices have dropped by around 8.5% across all trims. This change makes the popular hatchback more affordable than before.
Price Cut Across Petrol Variants
The petrol variants of Alto K10 are now available at a lower cost. For example, the entry-level STD (O) trim, earlier priced at ₹4.23 lakh, now comes at ₹3.87 lakh, marking a reduction of ₹36,000. Similarly, the LXI (O) sees a cut of ₹42,500, bringing its new price to ₹4.57 lakh. Mid-range trims like VXI (O) and VXI Plus (O) also get reductions of ₹45,200 and ₹47,700 respectively. These cuts make petrol versions ideal for those who want a reliable daily-use car at a lower price.
Big Savings on Petrol AMT Models
Automatic trims of Alto K10 are also seeing strong price benefits. The VXI (O) AMT is now cheaper by ₹49,500, priced at ₹5.31 lakh. Meanwhile, the VXI Plus (O) AMT has dropped by ₹51,899, bringing it to ₹5.57 lakh. For city drivers who prefer automatic convenience, this is the right time to buy.
CNG Variants Offer Maximum Value
The biggest savings are seen in the CNG lineup. The LXI (O) CNG now costs ₹5.41 lakh after a price cut of ₹50,400. More importantly, the VXI (O) CNG variant gets the highest reduction of ₹52,100, making its new price ₹5.59 lakh. Since CNG versions are already popular for their mileage of around 35 km/kg, this cut adds even more value for cost-conscious buyers.
Best Variant to Buy Now
For maximum benefit, the VXI (O) CNG variant stands out as the most value-for-money choice. Buyers looking for a cheaper petrol option can go for the STD (O) or LXI (O), both of which are now easier on the pocket. With this price drop arriving just before the festive season, Alto K10 is set to attract even more customers.
