What a ₹15,000 EMI Actually Costs You
The EMI is not the price. Over 7 years at 9.5%, a ₹15,000 monthly payment totals ₹12,60,000 against a loan of ₹9,17,769 — meaning ₹3,42,231 goes to interest alone. That is the real cost of financing, and it is why a larger down payment or a shorter tenure beats stretching the loan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cars can I buy on a ₹15,000 monthly EMI?
38 cars in our catalogue have an entry variant within reach on a ₹15,000 EMI, from the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 at ₹4,12,643 on-road up to the Mahindra Thar at ₹11,36,939. That assumes a 20% down payment and a 7-year loan at 9.5%.
How much car can I afford on a ₹15,000 EMI?
A ₹15,000 monthly payment supports a loan of about ₹9,17,769 over 7 years at 9.5%. Adding a 20% down payment of ₹2,29,442 gives a total on-road budget of roughly ₹11,47,211. On-road means ex-showroom plus road tax, insurance and registration — not the ex-showroom price manufacturers advertise, which is typically 15–25% lower.
Should I extend the tenure to afford a more expensive car?
It works arithmetically but costs you. Stretching from 7 years to a longer tenure lowers the EMI and raises the car you can reach, but you pay more total interest and stay in negative equity longer — owing more than the car is worth. Cars depreciate roughly 15–20% in year one. A widely used discipline is the 20/4/10 rule: at least 20% down, no more than 4 years of loan, and total running costs under 10% of income. By that standard a 7-year car loan is already generous.
Does this include insurance and registration?
Yes. Every price here is on-road for Delhi — ex-showroom plus road tax, first-year comprehensive insurance, registration and handling, and 1% TCS where ex-showroom exceeds ₹10 lakh. Road tax varies by state, so your actual on-road price will differ; each model page lets you switch state.
Is a ₹15,000 car EMI affordable on my salary?
As a conservative rule, keep car EMI at or below 15% of net monthly income — so a ₹15,000 EMI suggests income of about ₹1,00,000 a month or more. Lenders themselves look at FOIR, your total EMIs across all loans as a share of income, and typically cap it at 40–55%. A car competes with rent, home loan and other obligations inside that ceiling.
On-road prices are estimates for Delhi and include road tax, first-year comprehensive insurance, registration and applicable TCS. Ex-showroom prices change with every manufacturer revision and road tax is set by each state — confirm the final figure with an authorised dealer before purchase.
