What is the EMI for a ₹30 Lakh Car Loan?
The monthly EMI for a ₹30 Lakh Car Loan at 9.5% interest for 5 years is approximately ₹63,006 per month. Over the full term you repay ₹37.8 L in total — ₹30 Lakh of principal plus ₹7.8 L of interest (26% of what you borrowed).
Car loans are usually capped at 7 years. Because a car is a depreciating asset, a shorter tenure is wise — you avoid owing more than the car is worth (negative equity). The 9.5% rate used here is a typical market rate for a car loan; your actual rate depends on your lender, credit score, and profile. Change the rate and tenure in the calculator above to match a specific offer.

Month 1

In the first year, 35% of every EMI goes to interest and only 65% reduces the principal. The principal portion of your EMI only overtakes the interest portion around month 1. This front-loading of interest is why prepaying early has such an outsized effect.

Prepayment impact on this loan
If you prepay ₹3 L (10% of the loan) in month 24 while keeping the same EMI, you would:
6 months
shaved off the tenure
₹90,330
saved in interest
The earlier you prepay, the more you save — because the interest component of each EMI is highest at the start. Floating-rate car loans have no prepayment penalty for individual borrowers.
Tips for a ₹30 Lakh Car Loan
Negotiate the on-road price before discussing EMI — dealers often quote a comfortable EMI while keeping the price high.
A larger down payment cuts both the EMI and the total interest. Financing the full on-road price maximises interest paid.
New-car rates are lower than used-car rates. Compare the bank's rate against the dealer/manufacturer finance scheme before signing.
