1
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:17,300
The are 2 Black variants. The one I ride 
is Pearl Black,

2
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,900
for which the price is 1.99Lakh ex-showroom.

3
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800
It is priced like that because they have

4
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,700
considered Kerala market. That's what I've 
heard. Reason being,

5
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,600
In Kerala, the Road Tax slabs

6
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,500
beyond ex-showroom(2-wheelers) price of 2 
Lakhs

7
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,400
the tax slab changes and falls under

8
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,300
some 20% - 22% category. Instead if it is 
under

9
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,200
2 lakh rupees, the tax category becomes some

10
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:04,100
10%-12% Road tax category.

11
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Mahindra knows their market base & demand 
in Kerala

12
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:13,900
So it is also because of that, the Pearl 
Black variant

13
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,800
is being launched at 1.99 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

14
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Okay..

15
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:26,500
The other black variant.. I forgot the name, 
but i

16
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,400
will show you on screen. This costs 2.06 
Lakh (ex-showroom)

17
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:36,300
Then the 2 more colour variants as shown,

18
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,200
costs 2.11 Lakh for both (Ex-showroom)

19
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:50,500
So if a buyer in Kerala gets Pearl Black 
one, there is tax advantage over

20
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,400
other variants. It is much lesser.

21
00:02:55,500 --> 00:03:00,300
Is it just because of the colour, the Pearl 
Black is priced at 1.99 Lakh?

22
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:15,400
From the other 3 colour variants, what we 
compromise in the 1.99 Lakh variant is

23
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:20,600
that we miss out the Pirelli Angel CT Tyres.

24
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:25,500
