akj53in 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 Benefit may be limited to December only, so car makers may clear 2008 dead inventory. They are a greedy bunch and may jackup prices in January again citing rising rupee exchnge rates, a la Honda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pratik.sinhal 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2008 ya but the cenvat deduction will be still there...till the elections atleast... and probably the january hike will also be reconsidered by the companies like honda after this cenvat reduction.

anjan_c2007 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 The fuel prices reduction and the cenvat cut favour car/bike purchases as manufacturers foresee dark clouds ahead during 2009! God only knows how it will work out.The recession will now make them stoop to conquer. But we are sure that once the economy gets back rolling sometime after 2009, the prices will be jacked up both by the manufacturers and the government.
