Other Benefits And Context
Apart from the direct price benefit on account of GST revision, JSW MG has also announced additional benefits to customers. On the Gloster model, customers can now avail benefits up to Rs 3.50 lakh. The finance offers include 100% on-road funding and a three-month EMI holiday perfectly timed with the coming festive season.
This falls under the plan of JSW MG to help the government in its endeavour towards rationalisation of taxes so that it can lower the cost of ownership and revitalise the interest of customers in their vehicles. Analysts said that any such reductions could kindle demand in this particular segment well before Diwali, a time associated with higher buying activity.
