Why CSD Price is Low as compared to the market?

Because it is offered at a discounted rate to qualified members of the military services, veterans, and their families, the CSD (Canteen Stores Department) car price in India is cheaper than the market price. To aid the military personnel and their families, the Indian government subsidises the price of goods supplied through CSD.

The CSD car price is less than the market price for a number of reasons. First off, CSD has less overhead than independent dealerships. Because it is run by the Indian government, CSD is not required to pay taxes or rent for the retail space. Cost savings result from this, which are subsequently passed on to the clients.

Second, the government offers incentives and privileges to producers who want to market their goods through CSD. Exemption from excise duty, customs duty, and other taxes is one of these incentives. Customers pay reduced pricing as a result of the producers’ ability to sell their goods through CSD at a lower price.

Lastly, the primary objective of CSD is to provide a benefit to the eligible armed forces personnel and their families, rather than to make a profit. Hence, CSD prices its products, including cars, at a lower rate than the market price to provide maximum benefits to its customers.
