Cars from Gwalior Trade Fair head to Haryana, Delhi, UP:8,000 cars pre-booked in 25 days; 50% road tax discount starts today

If you are planning to buy a new vehicle, the Gwalior Trade Fair has emerged as the best option at this time. At the fair, there is a 50 percent discount on road tax for vehicles, while dealers are also offering attractive offers. This time, the benefit of reduced GST is also directly reaching customers. Last year, in the 2025 fair, after road tax discount, the price of Wagon-R LXI CNG was Rs 6,57,080, while in 2026, despite getting almost the same offer, the same car is available for Rs 6,40,396, meaning customers are getting an additional benefit of about Rs 17,000 compared to last year. After the fair started, more than 8,000 vehicles have been booked in 25 days. After the notification for road tax exemption is issued, the tax discount will start from January 19, and vehicle deliveries will also begin. The special thing is that people from Haryana, Delhi, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh are coming to buy vehicles from the Gwalior Trade Fair. Read the report… Not Ujjain, buying vehicles from Gwalior… this is the reason
The Gwalior Trade Fair started from December 25, while Ujjain’s Vikramotsav Fair started on January 16. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has announced a 50 percent road tax exemption on vehicle purchases at both fairs. Cars are also available at cheaper rates in the Ujjain fair, but people from Indore and cities around Ujjain are heading to the Gwalior fair for luxury cars. One major reason for this is that the Gwalior fair is considered old and reliable for the automobile sector. The second important reason is related to the registration number. When purchasing a vehicle from Ujjain, you get an MP 13 registration number, which many traders and businessmen don’t consider auspicious due to beliefs associated with the number 13. Whereas, when buying a vehicle from Gwalior, you get an MP 07 registration number, which people consider more auspicious. As a result, last year, 128 luxury cars priced between 50 lakhs to 2 crore rupees were purchased from the Gwalior trade fair. Must provide domicile certificate
Generally, people from other states will not get tax exemption benefits. If people from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan or other states want to avail this exemption, they will have to provide proof of residence in Gwalior. For this, you will need at least a two-year rental agreement, a local address in an Aadhar card or vehicle registration in the name of a relative living in Gwalior. However, address proof from other cities in the state will also be valid. Double benefit on quick delivery
Major car companies like Maruti, Tata, Renault, Mahindra, Kia, Hyundai, Jeep and Citroen have set up stalls at the Gwalior Trade Fair. Additionally, luxury brands like Mercedes, Audi and BMW have also set up their stalls. All these companies have applied for trade licenses. Most showrooms in the fair are ready, while some are still being built. The special thing is that customers will get double benefits on early delivery. Along with this, the road tax exemption notification for the fair has already been issued, which will provide additional benefits to customers. The fair started 121 years ago
The Gwalior Trade Fair was started in 1905 by the then Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia I. Today, this fair has become 121 years old. Initially, this fair was mainly for nearby farmers, animal traders and shepherds, where domestic animals were bought and sold. As the fair’s reputation grew and word of the good quality livestock available here reached neighbouring states, traders from other states also started coming here. During this time, traders began bringing other commercial goods with them. Gradually, the animal fair transformed into a trade fair, and today it is considered one of the largest trade fairs in Asia. Fair is held on 104 acres of land
This fair is held on 104 acres of land at the Gwalior Fair Ground. During the fair period, the entire premises is divided into several sectors. The main attractions of the fair include the swing sector, automobile sector, electronics sector, craft market and food sector. In addition, household goods and animal-related sectors are also created in different sections. Company offers along with road tax exemption
According to the fair showroom in-charge Shujarul Rahman, along with 50 percent discount in road tax, companies are also offering various types of offers and discounts. At the fair, there is an RTO discount of Rs 29,000 on cars worth Rs 7-8 lakh. Additionally, there are dealer benefits worth Rs 30,000 to 40,000. Swift Dzire and Ertiga cars are being most preferred at the fair. Dealers say – Customers coming from all over Madhya Pradesh
Hyundai showroom in-charge Ashok Singh at the fair said that, along with a 50 percent discount in road tax, the company is also offering many other offers. These include customer benefits and exchange offers. Bookings are happening continuously. Managing the crowd of customers after notifications are issued can be challenging. People are liking the Venue, Creta and Aura cars the most. 300 to 400 cars have already been booked. Customers were waiting for offers at the fair
Customers are continuously coming to the fair. Bookings are being made in large numbers. Datia resident Shashikant Khare said that he was a sub-inspector in Gwalior. Now he lives in Datia. He had been planning to buy a car for quite some time, but the 50% road tax exemption available at the Gwalior Trade Fair and additional benefits from motor dealers increased his interest further.
