New Delhi. The discount offers given during Navratri and Dussehra are now over, but many automobile companies have extended their festival offers till Diwali. Additionally, additional discounts are also being given on stock clearance models available with some dealers. Hyundai’s electric car Kona EV is also included in this list, on which benefits of up to Rs 2 lakh are available.
