Shop as much as you can this year, because from next year you might not get these deals and offers again. As increment in car prices are already announced by Toyota. Hike in price is a result of higher manufacturing cost and

This year witnessed a downfall because of demonetisation too.

Demonetization has caused a disrupt in the world of business. The month of November has seen a downfall in the trade of the country and a similar downfall is expected in the sales of the passenger vehicles.

The NGT has started to take stricter actions on reducing the vehicular pollution. It was 2 years ago when NGT decided to ban all the petrol & diesel vehicles that were more than 15 years old, from the national capital. The order did attract a lot of fury from the vintage car owners and other masses.However, the NGT did succeed in implementing the ban.

Country’s largest car maker, Maruti Suzuki, which sells almost 1 lakh units every month, plays smart to face the declining sales.

Despite the post demonetization scenario, when the sales of almost every business have gone down, Maruti Suzuki has managed to come up really well.

Keeping up with the pole position in the country, the company has 50% share in the auto industry.
Maruti rules the market with its pricing policy and an offering in almost all car segments.

After Maruti Baleno and Maruti Brezza, now it's time for the Maruti Ignis compact crossover. The car will be sharing the same petrol and diesel engines from the Baleno while the important new feature to be introduced is the SHVS mild hybrid technology.

Hybrids are like the talk of the town right now and masses would be really happy to have this news.

The Japanese automaker, Toyota Motors is all set to launch the 4^th generation Prius coming January. This epitome of hybrid vehicles was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo and is expected to be set for sale in the coming year.

Automakers like Renault, Nissan and Honda have joined hands with banks to provide cashless facilities to their customers. The demonetization is definitely burning a hole in the customer’s pockets, and in such a critical time the automakers have to look for other finance options, else their sales are going to suffer.

Indian roads are highly unsafe. Normally only girls in India were asked to stay back at home, especially during night, because of the unsafe environment. Sadly now, everyone has to be cautious on the roads.

In a country, which invites a road accident in every 3.5 minutes and 400 accidental deaths per day is enough to scare anyone.

India is standing at the top in the list of accidents with mind-boggling ratios and the death rates are increasing every year.
