REASONS BEHIND THE SUCCESSFUL ROCKETING:

Yes my dear friends the attractive sales incentives, introduction of new models as well as variants coupled with easy availability of low cost finance with comfortable repayment options continued to drive demand and sales of automobiles during the first two quarters of the current year.
