The reason I don't by luxury Cars 🔥 - Ever dreamt of driving a Porsche 911 on Indian roads? Well, let's break that dream down... The base price of a Porsche 911 Carrera in Canada? ₹87 lakhs. Sounds steep, but somewhat manageable for the elite. Now add: Custom duty: ₹1.08 Cr CVD & Add-ons: ₹59L + ₹10L Education & Secondary Cess: ₹3.4L + ₹1.7L Registration & Road Tax: ₹41L And suddenly, that dream car now costs you a jaw-dropping ₹3.13 Cr. Yes, over 3 times the original price. All thanks to a complex web of import duties, cess, and taxes. We're not just paying for luxury We're paying for policy choices. Is this justifiable economic protection or a barrier to aspiration?

This isn’t “Make in India,” this is “Break your Bank in India.” You’re not importing a car, you’re importing a whole new lifestyle tax bracket.

This is exactly why Indian enthusiasts end up going for second-hand imports or skip the dream altogether. Just doesn’t make financial sense unless you’re printing money.
