What is the reason for such hefty discounts? Is it because FAME II subsidy is about to end or there is a drop in cost of EV batteries? Or the Manufacturers are clearing the stock and moving to a different kind of battery?

This is still priced about 20k more than the Ola S1 Pro that has identical Battery size but a 20% more powerful motor.

It's not a fire sale by any stretch of the imagination.

The specs of this motorcycle are close to the Yamaha FZ but the price is at least 40k more on road. Not exactly the best deal in the world.

Still, some price rationalisation is good. This is exactly what the FAME subsidies were supposed to help achieve. They are doing their job.
