Most of it — ₹26,000 of the ₹30,000 — is equipment we value against parts you can buy and fit afterwards, led by Leatherette Upholstery and Auto-Folding ORVMs. Our figures for those are mid-market accessory prices, not a quote, so it is worth pricing them from a fitter against the ₹50,000 this variant costs extra.
Of the equipment this variant adds, at our valuations. Which features count as fit-later is set per feature in the methodology.
