New Delhi. The discount offers given during Navratri and Dussehra are now over, but many automobile companies have extended their festival offers till Diwali. Additionally, additional discounts are also being given on stock clearance models available with some dealers. Hyundai's electric car Kona EV is also included in this list, on which benefits of up to Rs 2 lakh are available.

However, no major updates have been made in it since then and its sales have been declining for the last few months. Even despite huge discounts, there was no improvement in its sales. According to reports, the company is preparing to launch Creta EV soon, due to which the sale of Kona EV is being stopped.
