whenever there is a excise duty cut is announced, the car makers immediately announce a cut in prices so as to create an impression that these are all passed on to the customers. After a few months, we have seen them increasing the prices of the cars citing one reason or other. Thus not only does the excise cut goes into the car makers kitty also they make money by increasing the prices many times in a year. Considering the chaos which is there on the indian roads, govt should instead consider hiking the excise duty to see if it can be a solution to the increasing traffic problem in the country.
