[Updated] MG M9 vs Denza D9 in Delhi: D9 launched at ₹90 lakh* with about ₹9 lakh road tax*, zero RTO charges* on the M9

Updated 13 November 2026: Denza launched the D9 in India at ₹90 lakh* ex-showroom. This article now uses the announced price and specifications in place of pre-launch reports, and the D9’s road tax is recalculated on that price.

For a limited period, eligible buyers can get the MG M9 with zero RTO charges* at MG SELECT Delhi, the MG SELECT experience centre run by Shiva Motocorp in Mohan Cooperative Industrial Area. That matters because neither the M9 nor the Denza D9 qualifies for Delhi’s EV road-tax waiver, which stops at ₹30 lakh. Denza launched the D9 on 13 November 2026 at ₹90 lakh* ex-showroom, so an individual who registers one in Delhi would pay 10% road tax*: about ₹9 lakh*. The M9 starts at ₹69.99 lakh* ex-showroom under BaaS, plus a battery rental of ₹8 per km*, or ₹79.94 lakh* with the battery included.

Key facts, as of 13 November 2026.

• MG M9 price: ₹69.99 lakh* ex-showroom with BaaS, plus a battery rental of ₹8 per km*, or ₹79.94 lakh* ex-showroom with the battery included.

• MG M9 RTO charges at MG SELECT Delhi: zero* for eligible buyers, for a limited period.

• Denza D9 price: ₹90 lakh* ex-showroom, announced at Denza’s India launch on 13 November 2026, for a single, fully loaded seven-seat trim. The D9 is a fully imported car.

• Delhi road tax on electric cars above ₹30 lakh: no waiver. The standard rate for private cars above ₹10 lakh is 10%*, or 12.5%* for a car registered to a company.

• Toyota Vellfire: ₹1.20 crore to ₹1.30 crore* ex-showroom. It is a hybrid, so it pays the full 10%* in Delhi.

• Shiva Drive scorecard: M9 40 out of 50, Vellfire 37, D9 30 (provisional, scored before the D9’s launch).

RTO charges in Delhi: MG M9 vs Denza D9 vs Toyota Vellfire.

Without the offer, the M9 would also pay 10%*: about ₹7 lakh to ₹8 lakh*, depending on how you buy. Registration fees, insurance and other charges are extra on all three cars.

Some online on-road price calculators still show ₹0 RTO for these cars in Delhi. Under the policy in force since 1 July 2026, electric cars above ₹30 lakh get no waiver, so check any quote line by line.

Why neither car gets Delhi’s EV waiver.

The Delhi EV Policy 2026 runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. It waives road tax and registration fees only on electric cars with an ex-showroom price of up to ₹30 lakh (see how the rule works). The M9 and the D9 are both well above that limit. The zero RTO charges* offer on the M9 is MG SELECT Delhi’s own limited-period scheme, not the government waiver.

MG M9 best price in Delhi: how to pay less.

• Choose BaaS or outright. BaaS cuts the upfront price by nearly ₹10 lakh*, to ₹69.99 lakh* ex-showroom, but adds ₹8 per km*. At 1,000 km a month, that is ₹8,000*. The rental adds up to the upfront saving after about 1.25 lakh km.

• Confirm the zero RTO offer. Eligibility depends on where you live, so check before you book.

• Ask for an itemised on-road quote. Insurance and other charges vary.

How the M9 compares with the Denza D9 and Toyota Vellfire.

Shiva Drive scored the three luxury MPVs over five rounds. The M9 scored 40 out of 50, the Vellfire 37 and the D9 a provisional 30 (read the full comparison). The M9 won the price and running-cost round with 10 out of 10. The D9 leads on specifications, and its launch figures widen that lead: a 115.07 kWh battery, 462 PS (about 456 bhp) and a claimed range of 730 km on the NEDC cycle. The M9 has a 90 kWh battery, 245 hp and a claimed range of 548 km, but the two range figures come from different tests. The Vellfire won the service-network round, and all three tied on cabin comfort.

The D9’s scores were set from press reports before its launch and have not been changed. Shiva Drive will re-run the scorecard after driving the India-spec D9. See the M9 inside and out in our Shiva Drive walkthrough.

The Denza D9 India launch: what Denza announced on 13 November.

Denza launched the D9 in India on 13 November 2026 at ₹90 lakh* ex-showroom, in a single, fully loaded seven-seat trim. It is a fully imported car with a 115.07 kWh BYD Blade battery, one front-mounted motor rated at 462 PS (about 456 bhp) and 365 Nm, and a claimed range of 730 km on the NEDC cycle (Autocar India). Denza is selling it through its own showrooms in six cities: Gurugram, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad (Drivespark). Gurugram is the closest to Delhi, but a D9 registered in Delhi pays Delhi’s road tax: about ₹9 lakh* for an individual.

Denza covers the D9 with a warranty of six years or 1.5 lakh km, whichever comes first (Drivespark).
