This reduction of price will be over and above the current promotional offers for the company's vehicle range, it added.
The company said it is optimistic that the price reduction will bring down the cost of acquisition, especially for the entry-level customers. "This announcement around the festive season will help boost customer sentiment and revive the market to create demand," MSI said.
