Exactly Mr. Varghese. However, you need not pay IGST on exports if you file an LUT.
Additionally, you need to consider the import duty only if your intent is the import of Automotive equipment.
is there any export duties for exporting cars ??
So it's 26% import duty for auto parts. For a product of ₹ 100 it will be ₹ 126 . Again have to pay GST for sales.
