Indian sedans and SUV less than four metres long attract lesser duties. It is reflected in their selling prices than the four metres in length.
The Indian government main concern was easy the traffic and lower fuel consumption by short cars with its multiple benefits.
This decision was taken by Indian government, so these sub cars will reach many more families because increase in sale of cars would fetch the Government the excise.
