With discounts upto ₹5 lakh, now may be the best time to buy a superbike
- Superbikes are being sold at unbelievable discounts in India and if one is serious about buying one, this might be the best chance.
The transition to BS 6 emission standards within 3 years of the previous BS 4 shift (2017) was already a bitter pill for the India auto industry. But the unprecedented situation created by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic proved to be the 'final nail' in the coffin for automakers who are yet to clear their respective BS 4 stocks.
The Supreme Court of India has eased the March 31 deadline by 10 days, on the condition that only 10% of the unsold BS 4 stock can be sold within the extended limit.
This move may have come as a breather but it wouldn't make much of a difference since most stock will go unsold.
