'Indians will buy anything on discount', Twitter reacts to bumper offers on sale of BS-III vehicles

In a blow to automobile firms, the Supreme Court has banned the sale and registration of vehicles, which are not BS-IV compliant, in India from April 1 when the new emission norms come into force. Since the automobile makers will be suffering major losses, the companies are resorting to selling off the BS-III compliant vehicles on discounted price.

From April 1, none of the BS-III compliant vehicles can be sold. Even the registration of vehicles will be allowed only if there is a proper proof that they were sold on or before



March 31. Hence, there is a huge rush of buyers outside showrooms. Twitter too is flooded with responses on whether the decision is good.

The apex court observed that the health of the people is “far, far more important than the commercial interests of the manufacturers”, but here is what people have to say.

It happens only in India - when people prefer discounts over preserving nature. Steep discounts on BSIII vehicles & mad rush to buy them.
