As of August 2026, several brands are providing various benefits, including cash discounts, exchange bonuses, and corporate offers.

Key Highlights by Manufacturer:

Kia

Kia has introduced substantial discounts on select MY25 and MY26 models in July 2026. The Kia Clavis EV (MY25 HTM) receives the highest benefit, up to ₹2 lakh.

Tata Motors

Tata Motors provides discounts on various models, including its popular SUVs and other vehicles. As of February 2026, the Tata Nexon, India's top-selling SUV, was available with benefits of up to ₹50,000 on MY24 and MY25 versions (petrol, diesel, and CNG). The latest MY26 Nexon models had offers of up to ₹25,000 ³.

Maruti Suzuki

Maruti Suzuki, a major player in the Indian market, also has ongoing offers. In February 2026, the Ertiga MPV was available with a limited discount of ₹5,000. SUV buyers could find benefits of up to ₹30,000 on the Brezza. However, the Tour M taxi derivative did not receive any offers during that month ⁴. The Ciaz had offers up to INR 38,000 (valid till September 30, 2024, or until stocks last), and the Dzire had booking offers totaling INR 73,000 (including a gold offer valid till September 30, 2025). The Eeco was offered with benefits up to INR 62,500 (updated September 20) ⁹.

Skoda

Skoda India rolled out a strong set of offers for April 2026, focusing on clearing MY25 stock and promoting selective MY26 models. Discounts varied significantly, with the highest benefits aimed at stock clearance ⁸.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen India also provides exciting limited-period offers, including exclusive benefits and GST savings on models like the Virtus ¹⁰.

Best Times to Buy a Car for Maximum Discounts

While offers are available year-round, certain periods typically yield better deals:

• Model Transition Periods: Before new model launches, dealerships often offer significant discounts on outgoing versions to clear inventory. For instance, Maruti provided ₹40,000 in benefits before the Brezza facelift ⁵. However, buyers should note that outgoing models might lack some newer features or safety upgrades ⁵.
• Monsoon Season (June to August): This period generally sees lower customer footfall, leading to increased discounts ⁵.
• March: March is often considered one of the cheapest months to buy a car in India, primarily due to dealerships pushing to meet annual sales targets and clear stock before the new financial year ⁶.
• Diwali (October-November): This festive season is known for offering some of the best bundled deals, combining cash discounts with free insurance and accessories. While March might offer pure cash savings, Diwali can provide better overall package value if negotiations are started early ⁶.
• December: Towards the end of the calendar year, manufacturers and dealerships often offer substantial discounts to clear year-end inventory and achieve sales targets ⁷.

It is always advisable to check with local dealerships for the most current and specific offers, as discounts can vary based on location, variant, and stock availability.
