These are IndiCar's own price list figures for Mumbai, for individual registration. The Nexon list is dated 1 September 2026 and the Curvv list 5 September 2026. Below is how the numbers break down and what they mean for the variant you pick.

The headline numbers side by side

The Nexon gives you far more combinations to choose from, and it is the only one of the two with a CNG option in these price lists.

Where the on-road money goes in Mumbai

For the cheapest variant of each car, the on-road price is built from four lines:

The ex-showroom price is the headline, but the RTO and road tax line alone is Rs 1,14,749 on the cheapest Curvv and Rs 85,995 on the cheapest Nexon. Quotes that stop at ex-showroom leave out these lines. To test any variant, use the on-road price calculator.

How many variants fit your budget

Budget bands show the difference between the two ranges more clearly than the endpoints do.

• Nexon: 4 of 66 priced combinations are at or under Rs 10,00,000 on-road, and 48 of 66 are at or under Rs 15,00,000.
• Curvv: 6 of 26 priced combinations are at or under Rs 15,00,000 on-road, and 22 of 26 are at or under Rs 20,00,000.

If your ceiling is Rs 15,00,000 on-road, the Nexon is the car with depth: most of its range sits under that figure. On the Curvv, only 6 variants do. If your ceiling is Rs 20,00,000, the Curvv opens up, with 22 of its 26 combinations inside it.

Entry points by fuel and gearbox

Tata Nexon. The entry is Smart Petrol Manual at Rs 8,71,886. The cheapest CNG, Smart CNG Manual, is Rs 9,52,970. The cheapest automatic, Smart + Petrol AMT, is Rs 10,37,474. The cheapest diesel, Smart + Diesel Manual, is Rs 11,01,631. The middle of the range is Creative New Diesel Manual at Rs 13,69,317. The top is Fearless+PS AMT RDK Diesel Automatic at Rs 17,42,760.

So on the Nexon, the cheapest automatic (Smart + Petrol AMT, Rs 10,37,474) costs Rs 1,65,588 more than the entry Smart Petrol Manual, and diesel starts at Rs 11,01,631 on-road.

Tata Curvv. The entry is Smart X Petrol Manual at Rs 11,66,301. The cheapest automatic, Pure X DCA Petrol Automatic, is Rs 14,54,480. The cheapest diesel, Pure X Diesel Manual, is Rs 14,79,572. The middle of the range is Accomplished X Petrol Manual at Rs 16,52,553. The top is Accomplished X+ DCA DK Diesel Automatic at Rs 22,73,879.

On the Curvv, both the cheapest automatic and the cheapest diesel start at the Pure X trim, at Rs 14,54,480 and Rs 14,79,572 on-road. If you want either, you are already well above the entry price.

Who each car suits

The Nexon suits you if your on-road budget is under Rs 15,00,000, or if you want a CNG, AMT or wide diesel choice. With 66 combinations, you can usually find a trim, fuel and gearbox that lands where you want it.

The Curvv suits you if your budget is closer to Rs 15,00,000 to Rs 20,00,000 and you are comfortable starting at Rs 11,66,301. It offers fewer combinations, 26 in all, and no CNG.

One caution: these figures are purchase prices. Running costs for petrol, CNG and diesel are not covered here, so do not pick a fuel on the on-road figure alone.

What to ask the dealer

• Ask for the on-road quote broken into ex-showroom, RTO and road tax, insurance and FASTag, and compare each line with the figures above.
• Ask for the exact feature list of the trim you are considering, and what the next trim up adds.
• Ask whether the quoted insurance is first-year comprehensive, as in the figures here.
• If you want an automatic, ask which automatic gearbox the variant has, since the Nexon lists both AMT and Automatic.
• Ask for any add-ons to be itemised separately from the on-road price.

Which one should you choose on price

On price, the Nexon is the lower-cost choice at every end of the range we have figures for, and it has more variants under Rs 15,00,000. The Curvv makes sense only if you have decided you want it and your budget stretches to at least Rs 11,66,301 on-road. Before deciding either way, compare features and running costs, which this price comparison does not cover.
