Tata Motors has revised prices for its mainstream models like the Tigor, Altroz, Harrier and the Nexon. While a first look at the new price structure shows an increase in the ex-showroom cost of most of these cars, a deep dive into the actual breakup reveals that the on-road prices for the month of August 2020 has actually come down a bit, when compared to July 2020.
- While ex-showroom prices of some cars have increased, on-road prices have reduced for some
- New pricing policy aimed at bringing transparency into vehicle buying process
- Models like the Altroz, Nexon, Tiago and Tigor are now being sold with updated prices
Until July 2020, the on-road price of any new Tata hatchback, compact sedan or SUV differed from city to city, and in some cases, dealer to dealer as well, due to multiple add-ons to the pricing. For instance, handling charges were included in the final on-road price. Tata Motors’ new strategy eliminates the pricing difference, along with the removal of ‘handling charges', and makes the overall process more transparent, thus making on-road prices for its cars and SUVs more uniform.
Which Tata cars and SUVs are covered under the new pricing strategy?

Tata Altroz prices have increased
As we’ve reported just last week, Tata Motors has increased the ex-showroom prices of the Altroz premium hatchback by up to Rs 15,000.
Tata Motors seeing an uptick in sales
Meanwhile, the recovery in India’s overall passenger vehicle segment continues with a reducing month-on-month rate of decline, led by the surging demand for SUVs, which saw 14 percent year-on-year growth in July 2020.
Tata Motors recorded strong market recovery in July 2020 with estimated sales of 15,012 units, which translates to a year-on-year growth of 43.17 percent (July 2019: 10,485). The carmaker’s July numbers are a marked improvement over its June 2020 estimated overall sales of 11,419 units (June 2019: 13,351).
The company’s improving market performance is benefiting from its thoroughly refreshed product line-up. The year 2020 has seen Tata Motors launch the all-new Altroz premium hatchback and Nexon EV, in addition to introducing significant updates to the regular Nexon, as well as the Harrier, Tiago and Tigor.
The Altroz has sold an estimated 6,740 units in the past two months (June: 3,104; July: 3,636), which indicates that consumers have taken to the new car. Meanwhile, the Harrier, like the Nexon, seems to be riding the resurgent wave of demand for SUVs. With estimated sales of 1,638 units in the June-July 2020 (June: 653; July: 985), this Tata product is also back in the business.
