<h1>Major carmaker to cut vehicle prices Rs 46,400-1.29 lakh from Sept 22 after GST cut to 18%</h1> A major car manufacturer announced via regulatory filing that it will reduce vehicle prices by between Rs 46,400 and Rs 1.29 lakh effective September 22 to pass on benefits from a GST rate reduction. The cuts, specified for multiple hatchback, SUV and LCV models, follow a government change lowering GST to 18% from 28% for petrol, CNG and LPG cars with engines up to 1,200cc and length under four metres, and for diesel cars up to 1,500cc within the four-metre length threshold. The measure formalizes compliance with the tax change and consumer pass-through.
