There was a lot of hype surrounding the initial launch of Atto 3. However, the hype came to a sudden halt as new tax policies made jumped the price of the 150kW variant by almost 25 Lakhs! Interestingly, BYD Nepal adopted a new strategy to ensure its survival.
The company had to introduce a newer 100kW variant at a more affordable price. Moreover, it came with the same quirks and features as the extended 150kW variant, but with a slightly reduced range and price. Unfortunately, history repeated itself with the new Budget 23/24.
