So the ABS and the Airbags (along with any other components that are still not manufactured here) would cost quite a bit if they sell the car in India. Also, if you export the same car, you can avail of low (I think zero, not sure) duties on the same components. This is the reasoning that in the same price, the UK spec car can accomodate more features. |
The ABS kit in my car, i10 is by Mando, and is manufactured in India I guess.
