Audi India Price Cut: After Mercedes-Benz, luxury carmaker Audi has also announced revised prices across its model range following the introduction of GST 2.0. The recently updated tax structure announced by the GST Council has prompted auto manufacturers to introduce new prices in anticipation of increased demand during the festive season. Audi has announced significant discounts on both its SUVs and sedans, with benefits ranging from Rs 2.6 lakh to Rs 7.8 lakh, depending on the model.
According to the company, the updated prices make Audi’s range of luxury cars and SUVs more accessible, adding momentum to customer demand ahead of the festive season.

Under the new GST 2.0 framework, the Council has approved the removal of two tax slabs — 12 per cent and 28 per cent. As part of this restructuring, petrol, petrol-hybrid, LPG, and CNG-powered passenger cars with engine capacities below 1200 cc and within the sub-4 metre category will now attract a reduced GST rate of 18 per cent, down by 1,000 basis points from the earlier 28 per cent.
