MG India attracts Indians to its showrooms by marketing the starting price of Hector, but that model isn't available in reality

Experienced this around a month back at MG's showroom in Ludhiana. When I asked the salesman about the lowest, base variant, he told me that it's written there on the price list, but "in practice" we don't offer it. So the fraudish idea is to lure / bait buyers via the low-looking sticker price of the base trim, but to then "upsell" to them by denying the product which got them inside the sales outlet in the first place.

This is fraud, done by many / most car companies in India {experienced the same at Skoda showroom in Ludhiana around 3-4 weeks back, with the lowest Rapid 1.0 TSI model not sold "in practice"}, and should be formally identified and recognized and severely punished.
