MAA urges the government to retain CBU EV duty exemptions, arguing early-stage demand and consumer confidence are vital for CKD success. With tax breaks ending Dec 31, distributors forecast 20–30 % price hikes, while some warn of up to 100 % increases once 10–30 % import and 50–100 % excise duties return. CKD incentives continue until end-2027, but brands starting local assembly only in H2 2026 will face transitional price pressure.
