From a market perspective, this contrarian move is genuinely interesting. While every manufacturer moves to raise prices, Hero's cutting the price of its volume seller, the HF Deluxe, in four states — the Rs 59,999 figure sends a clear message to India's extremely price-sensitive volume zone. What the numbers show is a willingness to sacrifice margin to defend market share.

Limiting it to four states suggests there might be an inventory-adjustment or regional-strategy angle to it too.

Being able to turn a profit even after dropping to Rs59,999 is really only possible with a mass-market model.

Cutting the price in the middle of a wave of price hikes shows they've got a read on how to win the commuter market.
