Back in 2016-2017 in the national budget the government decided to promote progressive manufacturing in Bangladesh, so they made a new policy SRO NO: 155-AIN/2016/17/Customs Date June 2 2016(SRO 155), under this new policy all the motorcycle companies who will get permission for progressive manufacturing will pay a customs tax of 20% from 45%which is a reduction of 25% for CKD progressive manufacturers.
Rasel Industries Ltd became the 11th company officially who have reduced the price of their bikes under the new regulation. We hope this new Lifan Motorcycle price in Bangladesh will help the bikers to buy their desired bikes as they were waiting for the price reduction for a very long time.
