The single most common question from first-time commercial buyers is also the hardest to answer online: what is a fair price? Used taxi pricing is opaque because most listings sit with brokers who quote by the buyer rather than by the car. This is a reference price list for 2026, organised by budget, so you can walk into any negotiation with a number.
All figures below assume a commercially registered vehicle on a yellow plate with valid fitness. Private-plate cars sell for less but require conversion, which adds ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 and several weeks.

How Much Prices Vary Between Cities
The same vehicle does not cost the same across India, and the spread is wide enough to be worth planning around.
- Delhi NCR: the deepest supply in the country and therefore the most competitive pricing, typically 5 to 10 percent below the national average. It is also where CNG stock is concentrated
- Mumbai and Pune: 8 to 15 percent above Delhi, driven by permit scarcity and higher demand than local supply
- Bengaluru and Hyderabad: broadly at the national average, with strong supply of aggregator fleet disposals
- Tier-2 cities: lower headline prices but a much thinner selection, and often no commercially registered stock at all — many buyers travel to a metro and transfer the vehicle
What Moves a Price Within a Model
- Commercial registration: a yellow-plate vehicle with a live permit commands ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 over an identical private car, and saves you weeks of RTO work
- Fuel type: a factory CNG variant carries a ₹40,000 to ₹70,000 premium over petrol, and usually earns it back inside a year of full-time running
- Odometer: above 2,00,000 km expect a 15 to 25 percent discount, but weigh it against service documentation — a documented high-mileage fleet car often outlasts an undocumented low-mileage one
- Fitness certificate validity: less than three months remaining is worth ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 off, since renewal costs money and takes the vehicle off the road
- Ownership count: a third or fourth owner reduces value by 8 to 12 percent and can complicate financing
Using This List in a Negotiation
Quote the range, not a single number. Arriving with a defensible band and the specific reasons a given car sits at the bottom of it — expired fitness, a tired clutch, three previous owners — is far more effective than an arbitrary lowball. Sellers respond to reasoning; they dismiss guesses.
