Rooftop Tent Price in India: The Full Cost Ladder (2026)

A rooftop tent price in India runs from about Rs 76,990 for a proven entry softshell to Rs 235,000 for a button-operated automatic. The honest sweet spot for most Thar, Scorpio-N and Hilux owners is the mid band — the Leopard41 at Rs 112,990 — which buys you a 41 kg featherweight with thermal-control bedding and quick deploy. Below we lay out the whole ladder, band by band, so you can match spend to how often and how cold you actually camp.

§ 01The picks

Every pick, and why it's the one.

These four picks deliberately span the price ladder — the entry softshell, the best-value featherweight, the flagship hardshell, and the premium automatic — so you can see exactly what each extra rupee buys. Every price and fitment below is from our live catalogue.

§ 02The detail

The full price ladder, band by band

Here is the whole catalogue laid out cheapest to dearest, so you can see where your budget lands. Entry softshell: CampTop 250 at Rs 76,990. Cold-weather softshell: CampTop 300Lux at Rs 94,990 (dual heater ports, all-season thermal mattress, sky window, LED bar). Best-value featherweight: Leopard41 at Rs 112,990 (41 kg). Lightest premium softshell: FeatherLite at Rs 128,990. First hardshell: CampTop Aero-V at Rs 138,990 (clamshell, all-aluminium body and base, gas-assist struts). Big-rig softshell: CampTop 400Max at Rs 164,990 (7ft x 7ft, 400 kg load — Scorpio-N, Fortuner, Hilux, Defender only). Flagship hardshell: Bison61 at Rs 204,990. Automatic: AutoNest 120 at Rs 235,000.

Read that ladder as four bands. Under Rs 1 lakh is the entry-and-cold-softshell band — the 250 and the 300Lux. Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.4 lakh is the value-and-premium softshell band — Leopard41, FeatherLite, and the first hardshell Aero-V. Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 2 lakh is the big-rig and flagship band — the 400Max for large vehicles. Above Rs 2 lakh is the hardshell-flagship and automatic band — Bison61 and AutoNest 120. The mistake we see is people anchoring on the top number; most owners are happiest one or two rungs down.

What actually moves the price

Three things drive a rooftop tent's price, and none of them is brand glamour. First, the shell. A softshell folds under a cover and costs less to build; a hardshell uses a stamped or extruded aluminium clamshell that survives years of sun, hail and highway wind — that is why the Aero-V at Rs 138,990 costs more than heavier softshells below it. Second, the opening mechanism. Gas-assist struts (Aero-V) add cost over a manual fold; a motorised electric pop-up (AutoNest 120, Rs 235,000) adds the most. You are paying for seconds saved at the end of a long drive.

Third is what we call the cold-and-comfort kit, and it is where Indian buyers should pay attention. The CampTop 300Lux at Rs 94,990 carries dual heater ports and an all-season thermal mattress precisely because we run this gear in real Indian cold — Spiti, Ladakh, the high passes, down to -25C. Size matters too: the 400Max at Rs 164,990 charges for a 7ft x 7ft floor and 400 kg load, but it will not fit a Thar or Jimny. So before you read price as quality, read it as shell, mechanism, cold-kit and size — then match it to your vehicle and your nights out.

§ 03What to look for

Before you buy

Entry band (under Rs 1 lakh)
CampTop 250 Rs 76,990 (value softshell) and CampTop 300Lux Rs 94,990 (cold-weather softshell with dual heater ports). Best for weekend and occasional campers.

Big-rig & flagship (Rs 1.4L–2L)
CampTop 400Max Rs 164,990 — 7ft x 7ft, 400 kg, for Scorpio-N, Fortuner, Hilux, Defender only (not Thar or Jimny).

Softshell vs hardshell

§ 04FAQ

Questions, answered.

In our catalogue a rooftop tent price in India runs from Rs 76,990 to Rs 235,000. The entry CampTop 250 is Rs 76,990, the cold-weather CampTop 300Lux is Rs 94,990, the value Leopard41 is Rs 112,990, the first hardshell Aero-V is Rs 138,990, the flagship Bison61 is Rs 204,990, and the automatic AutoNest 120 is Rs 235,000. Most buyers spend between Rs 95k and Rs 165k.

The cheapest is the CampTop 250 at Rs 76,990. It is a proven value softshell with hot-stitched waterproof seams and a 300 kg base, and it fits Thar, Scorpio-N, Jimny, Fortuner and Hilux. It is the right first tent for weekend and occasional campers. If you camp in real cold, we'd nudge you to the CampTop 300Lux at Rs 94,990 for its dual heater ports and all-season thermal mattress.

If you actually sleep out, yes. You get off the wet, cold ground, set up in minutes instead of pitching a ground tent, and pack away dry. We run these across Spiti, Ladakh, the Rann and the Northeast. The honest test is nights per year: camp ten-plus nights and even the Leopard41 at Rs 112,990 pays back fast in comfort and saved setup time. Camp twice a year and the entry CampTop 250 makes more sense.

Yes — finance and EMI options are available at checkout, so you can spread the cost. That reframes the decision: instead of the sticker price, look at the monthly figure against how often you'll use the tent. A mid-band Leopard41 at Rs 112,990 on EMI is often easier to justify than a cash-heavy entry buy you outgrow. If you want help choosing a band for your budget, reach out via our contact page and we'll talk it through.

All three, in that order of impact. Shell first: softshell starts at Rs 76,990, hardshell at Rs 138,990 (Aero-V) because of the aluminium clamshell. Mechanism next: gas-assist struts add cost, and a motorised automatic adds the most — the AutoNest 120 is Rs 235,000. Size last: the big 7ft x 7ft, 400 kg CampTop 400Max is Rs 164,990. You pay for shell durability and opening convenience more than for floor area.

The Leopard41 at Rs 112,990. It weighs only 41 kg — one of the lightest tents made — which matters for your roof load and fuel, and it carries DarkShield fabric, a thermal-control mattress, an aluminium honeycomb base and RapiDeplo quick setup. It fits Thar, Scorpio-N, Jimny, Fortuner and Hilux. For most buyers it is the smartest rung: premium features and low weight without stepping up to hardshell pricing.
