Jawa 42 on-road price in Chennai
₹2.3 Lakh on-road for the base variant, against ₹1.87 Lakh ex-showroom.
On the road in Chennai the base 42 comes to ₹2.3 Lakh: ₹1,87,716 ex-showroom, ₹29,744 in Tamil Nadu road tax and registration (15.8%), ₹12,744 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Within Tamil Nadu the 42 ranges from ₹2,24,527 to ₹2,30,204 on-road across the 12 RTO cities we track; the road-tax rule is the same statewide, so the gap is dealer ex-showroom and insurance pricing.
With petrol at about ₹100.80 in Chennai and a real-world 31.5 kmpl, fuel comes to about ₹3.20 per km, or ₹2,496 a month at 30 km a day. Heavy traffic will push mileage to the lower end of the real-world band.
