Market Positioning and Pricing

Yamaha has also streamlined its India operations in a bid to introduce new products quickly into our market. We like the fact that the EC-06 is not a rebadged product but it is also more expensive now especially when compared to others in this competitive market. We think both the Indie and the EC-06 are different in looks but given the similarity, the price difference should have been less. Yamaha for now is testing this product under limited markets and not all.
