The Tata 1216 LPT costs about Rs 23 lakh to Rs 26 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Tata 1216 LPT gives about 7 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 160 litre tank, that is roughly 1,120 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 7,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 11,990 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.

Gross vehicle weight is 11,990 kg, or about 11.99 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for parcel, courier, poultry and LPG Cylinder. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
Air conditioning is not listed as standard on this version. Some dealers fit it as an accessory, so ask for the price before you book.
It has 6 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 8.25 R20 - 20 PR Radial Low CRR Tyre.
