01:13.3 - 01:17.3
The are 2 Black variants. The one I ride is Pearl Black,

01:20.2 - 01:24.9
for which the price is 1.99Lakh ex-showroom.

01:25.0 - 01:29.8
It is priced like that because they have

01:29.9 - 01:34.7
considered Kerala market. That's what I've heard. Reason being,

01:34.8 - 01:39.6
In Kerala, the Road Tax slabs

01:39.7 - 01:44.5
beyond ex-showroom(2-wheelers) price of 2 Lakhs

01:44.6 - 01:49.4
the tax slab changes and falls under

01:49.5 - 01:54.3
some 20% - 22% category. Instead if it is under

01:54.4 - 01:59.2
2 lakh rupees, the tax category becomes some

01:59.3 - 02:04.1
10%-12% Road tax category.

02:04.2 - 02:09.0
Mahindra knows their market base & demand in Kerala

02:09.1 - 02:13.9
So it is also because of that, the Pearl Black variant

02:14.0 - 02:18.8
is being launched at 1.99 Lakh (Ex-showroom).

02:20.0 - 02:21.6
Okay..

02:21.7 - 02:26.5
The other black variant.. I forgot the name, but i

02:26.6 - 02:31.4
will show you on screen. This costs 2.06 Lakh (ex-showroom)

02:31.5 - 02:36.3
Then the 2 more colour variants as shown,

02:36.4 - 02:41.2
costs 2.11 Lakh for both (Ex-showroom)

02:43.7 - 02:50.5
So if a buyer in Kerala gets Pearl Black one, there is tax advantage over

02:50.6 - 02:55.4
other variants. It is much lesser.

02:55.5 - 03:00.3
Is it just because of the colour, the Pearl Black is priced at 1.99 Lakh?

03:05.3 - 03:15.4
From the other 3 colour variants, what we compromise in the 1.99 Lakh variant is

03:15.5 - 03:20.6
that we miss out the Pirelli Angel CT Tyres.

03:20.7 - 03:25.5
