Sir, temporarily slashing road tax isn't the cure. People are concerned over the BS6 application hence at large are avoiding new car purchase. GST revision etc are ways to help the brand but how much benefit is passed on to the buyer is also a major concern. Unless a clear policy framework w.r.t cars is put in place till then these short term measures won't lead to any drastic positive outcome.
