“The Government’s decision to extend the excise duty concession is a welcome move and will certainly uplift consumer purchasing sentiments as we head into the festive season over the next few months,” “It reflects the government’s recognition of the importance of the manufacturing sector and its contribution to overall economic growth.”

The 2014 Fiesta, with its best-in-class driving dynamics, design and in-car technology, is a complete package that delivers much more than the expectations of customers in this segment and offers an exceptional value and a compelling option for discerning enthusiasts,” said Vinay Piparsania, executive director of Marketing, Sales and Service at Ford India.
