Mumbai Leading truck and bus makers, Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, said on Wednesday they had cut prices following a 2 percentage point reduction in excise duty.

"We are passing on the full benefits of the excise duty reduction," a spokesman for Ashok Leyland said, adding this would bring prices down on average by slightly more than 16,000 rupees ($321) per vehicle.

On Tuesday, the government reduced central excise duty to 8 per cent from 10 per cent and trimmed tax rates on services to 10 per cent from 12 per cent.

Tata Motors, India's largest vehicle maker, has reduced truck prices, a spokeswoman said but did not give details.
