Car Prices Likely To Go Down By 100K to 400K
Following the recent reduction in car prices due to the incentives provided in the federal budget, prices are likely to go down further . This is because the government is considering proposals to reduce the Additional Customs Duty (ACD) and Regulatory Duty (RD) on different brands of cars.
These proposals are part of the upcoming Auto Development Policy (ADP) for 2021-26. The car prices are likely to go down further ranging from Rs100,000 to Rs400,000 on different engine capacities.
