TVS Apache RTR 160 4V: On Road Price In Top 5 Cities

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a popular choice in the 160cc segment, but its final on-road price varies significantly depending on the city of purchase. While the ex-showroom price provides a baseline, the actual cost at a dealership can differ by over Rs 10,000 across major Indian metros, primarily due to varying RTO charges and local taxes. An interesting point to note is that the on-road price of the cheapest variant is around the same as the ex-showroom price of the recently-launched Bajaj Pulsar N160 SS!

Coming back to the Apache, here’s a detailed breakdown of what the motorcycle costs in five key cities.

Mumbai

In Mumbai, the Apache RTR 160 4V is the most affordable among the five cities listed. The on-road price comes to Rs 1,36,741. This total includes an ex-showroom price of Rs 1,13,640, combined with an RTO charge of Rs 12,500 and an insurance cost of Rs 10,601. 

Chennai

For buyers in Chennai, the on-road price is slightly higher at Rs 1,37,877. The motorcycle shares the same ex-showroom price as Mumbai at Rs 1,13,640 and an identical insurance amount of Rs 10,601. The difference in the final price is due to a higher RTO registration cost, which is 13,636 in the city.

Delhi

The on-road price for the Apache RTR 160 4V in Delhi is Rs 1,39,365. Interestingly, Delhi has the lowest RTO charge of all five cities at just Rs 9,531. However, a higher ex-showroom price of Rs 1,19,140 prevents it from being the cheapest overall. 

Kolkata

In Kolkata, the final price is Rs 1,40,556. Like Delhi, it is based on the higher ex-showroom price of Rs 1,19,140. The RTO tax in Kolkata is Rs 10,722, and the insurance cost is Rs 10,694, placing its on-road price just above Delhi's.

Bengaluru

Bengaluru has the highest on-road price for the Apache RTR 160 4V, at Rs 1,46,946. While the ex-showroom price is Rs 1,13,640, the city’s steep RTO tax of Rs 22,705 is the main reason for the high cost. This RTO charge is nearly 2.4 times that of Delhi's. The insurance cost is Rs 10,601.

Disclaimer: The total price spread between the most affordable city (Mumbai) and the most expensive (Bengaluru) is approximately Rs 10,200.
