The Union Budget 2025 has brought significant changes for luxury car enthusiasts in India by reducing the customs duty on imported cars from 125% to 70%.
This shift makes high-end vehicles like Lamborghini more affordable for Indian buyers. Let’s take a closer look at how this new duty impacts the pricing of Lamborghini cars in India.
The Union Budget 2025 delivered a big win for car enthusiasts, especially fans of luxury and performance vehicles like Lamborghini. The customs duty on imported cars priced above $40,000 (approx. ₹35 lakh) has been reduced from 125% to 70%.
This decision directly impacts Lamborghini’s full lineup, which includes imported models such as the Revuelto and Urus Performante, making them more affordable for Indian buyers, particularly in metros like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.
While the government reduced customs duty, it introduced a 40% Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) in its place, replacing the earlier 10% Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS).
What does this mean? Although the headline rate of duty is lower, the effective tax still hovers around 110%, ensuring some relief but not a dramatic drop. The AIDC is now a key revenue generator for infrastructure funding, and buyers must account for it while calculating on-road prices.
Lamborghini isn’t alone brands like Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, and Bentley also gain from the reduced customs duty. However, Lamborghini could stand out due to:

Lamborghini has unveiled its latest supercar, the Temerario, in the Indian market, carrying an ex-showroom price tag of ₹6 crore.
This new model takes over from the Huracan, which was officially phased out in 2024. When it comes to performance, the Temerario features a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine paired with three electric motors, generating a total output of 920 bhp and 1,029 Nm of torque.
The Temerario also comes equipped with a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel. Lamborghini offers multiple driving modes with this model, including Citta, Strada, Sport, Corsa, and the advanced Corsa Plus.
The Union Budget 2025 has brought a positive change for luxury car enthusiasts in India, significantly lowering the customs duty on imported cars like Lamborghini. With the new 70% customs duty, high-end models such as the Revuelto and Urus Performante become more accessible. For buyers, this means a more affordable path to owning a Lamborghini, including the recently launched Lamborghini Temerario.
