Some Piaggio dealerships are offering discounts up to INR 40,000 on BS4 Vespa and Aprilia scooters, as per a new media report.
Last month, the Hon’ble Supreme Court ruled that companies can sell BS4 vehicles even after the BS6 implementation deadline (1 April 2020) for 10 days. The sale of BS4 vehicles after 31 March 2020 will be allowed everywhere in India except Delhi-NCR. Dealerships can sell only 10% of the unsold inventory of BS4 vehicles during the 10-day extension that will come into effect after the nationwide lockdown for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic has been lifted.
The 21-day lockdown was enforced in India on 25 March 2020 and was supposed to end on 14 April 2020. However, considering the current health situation of the country, it has been extended and will last until at least 3 May 2020. If this new lockdown gets lifted on the said date, based on the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s earlier decision, automotive retailers will have between 4-13 May 2020 to sell the BS4 stock.
To liquidate their unsold BS4 stock, some Piaggio dealerships are offering massive discounts of up to INR 40,000 on Vespa and Aprilia scooters. Moreoever, even some BS6 scooters of these brands are available at INR 25,000 discount.
