Heavy Discounts on Diesel Cars
Experiencing the decrease in sales numbers of diesel cars, most automakers of India have decided to offer the heavy discounts on their diesel variants. in fact on some selected models, the discounts are offered as high as Rs 50,000. The models on which the discounts are being offered these days are Tata Indica, Volkswagen Polo, Maruti Suzuki SX4, Ritz Ford Figo, Nissan Micra, Fiat Punto and Mahindra Verito.
Commenting on the same, Ford India’s President MD, Michael Boneham, "We are offering discounts on diesel models in-line with the market competition. The slowing demand curve has affected sales of diesel cars too and these rebates are expected to keep the sales ticking,"
If we look at the past few months, diesel cars were growing at an impressive pace, But deduction in sales numbers in recent times have compelled automakers to offers discounts.
Although the top-selling models like Maruti Suzuki Swift, Dzire, Hyundai i20 and Verna and Tata Indigo CS are still doing great having a waiting period of 6-8 months on their diesel variants across India.
In fact booking numbers for Swift have gone above 1.25 lakh and over 65,000 for Dzire due to Manesar unrest, which led to a month lock out. But the good news coming in is that MSI have finally re-started the production of Dzire.
