The rates for private cars premium have been hiked between 1 to 23 percent. For the cars, under 1000 CC, which is the most popular on the streets there the premium has gone up by 23 percent.
For new two-wheelers, the premium has been hiked by 15 to 177 percent. In the most popular categories, 75 CC to 150 CC here the premium hike of 17 percent is expected to come in.
