Swaraj 724 XM On-Road Price in Karnataka 2026

Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation Act 1957, Schedule Part A2 provides lifetime tax for 'tractors, trailers and power tiller trailers' owned by agriculturists or agricultural cooperative societies, at age-banded rates running from 93% of the base tax where the vehicle is not more than 2 years old, down to 25% where it is more than 15 years old. The Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment) Bill 2026, dated 25 March 2026, inserts a new Part A2(a) for 'Commercial Tractors Trailers' at 10% of the cost of the vehicle on new registration, with the same age-banded percentages for already-registered vehicles. The bill also adds battery-operated vehicle categories and a drilling-rig category, and was projected to raise Rs 250 crore in 2026-27.

IMPORTANT AND DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER 15 STATES: Karnataka does not give agricultural tractors a blanket exemption; it gives them a concessional lifetime tax band under Part A2. The base rupee/percentage figure that the Part A2 age-bands are applied to was NOT recoverable from public sources (the India Code PDF for the consolidated Act returned an invalid-URL error). So the actual rupee tax an agricultural tractor pays in Karnataka is NOT publishable with confidence. State on the page that Karnataka charges a concessional lifetime tax rather than exempting, that commercial tractor trailers now attract 10% of vehicle cost following the March 2026 amendment, and direct the reader to the RTO for the exact agricultural figure. Do NOT invent a number.
