The Tata Signa 1918.K costs about Rs 24 lakh to Rs 26.34 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 Signa 1918.K gives about 4.5 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 300 litre tank, that is roughly 1,350 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 10,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 18,500 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 18,500 kg, or about 18.5 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 construction material and industrial goods transportation. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 6 Speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.

It has 6 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 295/95 D20(Nylon Tyres).

The Tata Signa 1918.K has a GVW of 18,500 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a heavy goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
