Excepted Pricing

The EQC will come to our shore via the CBU route. Hence, we except its ex-showroom pricing to be around Rs 1 crore. At present, there is no direct rival of EQC in the Indian market. But it is expected that soon Audi e-Tron and Jaguar i-Pace will also make their entry into the Indian market.
