Further, the company informed that it had commenced manufacture and sale of BS IV compliant inventory much before the transition date of 31 March 2017. Consequently, the stocks of BS III compliant products with the dealers were progressively coming down. However, on 29 March 2017 by its order, the Supreme Court of India permitted sale of such BS III emission compliant products only up to 31 March 2017.
Accordingly, the company within the framework provided by the court order extended suitable required support to the dealers to enable them to offer attractive incentive schemes to customers to sell the BS III compliant stocks. The dealers have confirmed that majority of such stocks have been sold by 31 March 2017. The company is assessing the one-time impact of this transition on the financials of the company.
