Tata Motors launched its SUV the Hexa in Nepal, nearly 10 months after the model was launched in India. The Hexa, the lifestyle SUV has been priced at NPR 77.95 lakh (Rs 48.75 lakh) in Nepal.
The Hexa was launched in India starting at Rs 11.99 lakh. The price difference is due to local taxes in Nepal on imported cars. In Nepal, the Hexa will be available only in the range-topping XT 4x4 variant with a manual transmission. Tata has also delivered the first batch of 11 units of the new Hexa to customers in Nepal.
