Two-Wheeler Prices Slashed Post-GST Revision

In a move that has brought cheer to prospective two-wheeler buyers across India, several leading manufacturers have announced significant price reductions following the recent cut in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on motorcycles and scooters with engine capacities up to 350cc. 

 Here's a confirmed list of manufacturers who have revised their prices, along with the detailed savings you can expect on your next purchase. FYI, its not much but even few thousands is the step in the right direction.

Despite the recent GST hike that increased the tax on motorcycles above 350 cc from 31 percent to 40 percent, The Moto Morini X-Cape 650, X-Cape 650 X and the Seiemmezzo 650 range will continue to be offered at their current ex-showroom prices, ensuring better affordability for customers. 

Similarly, the Benelli 502C cruiser remains unaffected by the tax revision. This move effectively shields buyers from the added burden of higher costs, making these middleweight motorcycles more attractive during the festive season when demand generally peaks.

Harley Davidson

Harley-Davidson has confirmed that the ex-showroom price of the X440 (variants from Rs 2.40-2.80 lakh) in Delhi will not change despite the GST on motorcycles above 350 cc being raised from 31% to 40%. Unlike many rivals such as Royal Enfield, Harley is absorbing the tax hike itself.

Aprilla

Piaggio India has updated the Aprilia 457 range while absorbing the GST hike to add customer value. The Tuono 457 continues at Rs 3.95 lakh, unchanged, while the RS 457 rises to Rs 4.35 lakh but includes a free quickshifter worth Rs 20,500, effectively offering buyers benefits of around Rs 35,000. Rest of the price reductions are as follows

Royal Enfield

The iconic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has also announced a significant price reduction across its popular 350cc portfolio. The company has confirmed that the ex-showroom prices of its best-selling models have been slashed, making the dream of owning a Royal Enfield more attainable for many. 

This price revision is a direct result of the GST cut on motorcycles with engine capacities up to 350cc. By passing on the full benefit to its customers, Royal Enfield aims to attract a new wave of riders and further strengthen its foothold in the mid-size motorcycle segment in India.

TVS Motor Company

Yamaha Motor India

India Yamaha Motor has officially announced a substantial price reduction across its motorcycle and scooter lineup, extending the full benefits of the recent GST rate cut to its customers. This price revision makes their popular R and M series models more accessible to a broader audience.

Honda

Honda has rolled out notable price benefits across its scooter and motorcycle lineup following GST reforms. The Activa range continues to be the brand’s volume driver, with savings of up to Rs 8,259, while the Dio series also sees benefits of over Rs 8,000 on select models. On the motorcycle side, entry-level commuters like the Shine 100 receive reductions of up to Rs 6,256, whereas sportier offerings like the Hornet 2.0 and NX200 enjoy savings of more than Rs 13,000. T

he biggest relief comes in the CB350 lineup, where buyers can save nearly Rs 19,000. Honda expects these reductions to drive strong festive season demand, especially from first-time buyers, while keeping an eye on the new higher tax rates affecting motorcycles above 350cc.

KTM

KTM has officially rolled out new ex-showroom prices for its sub-350cc models after GST 2.0 came into effect. Popular bikes like the 160 Duke, 200 Duke, RC 200, 250 Duke and 250 Adventure now cost noticeably less thanks to the tax rate dropping to 18%. 

The savings range between ₹14,000 and ₹20,000 depending on the model. For young riders and enthusiasts, this makes KTM’s sporty machines more accessible, while keeping their aggressive performance intact. The larger 390 series and higher-capacity models remain in the higher tax bracket, so their prices are unchanged for now. 

While most bike makers are hiking prices due to the new 40 percent GST on motorcycles above 350cc, Bajaj has chosen to absorb the cost for locally produced Triumph and KTM models. This move keeps prices steady for popular bikes like the Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, Thruxton 400, and KTM 390 range. By holding prices, Bajaj strengthens its competitive edge against rivals like Royal Enfield, boosting customer interest and showroom appeal.

BMW Motorrad

BMW Motorrad has announced sharp price revisions on its smaller capacity offerings under GST 2.0. The G 310 RR, one of the most popular entry points into the BMW stable, now carries a ₹24,000 lower sticker, making it even more tempting for sportbike buyers. 

Meanwhile, the C 400 GT maxi-scooter, known for its comfort and practicality, has seen a massive cut of ₹92,000. BMW has wrapped these updates into its broader festive season campaign, but the reductions on two-wheelers stand out as clear GST benefits.

Kawasaki

Entry-level models under 350cc like the W175, KLX110R, and Ninja 300 have seen noticeable price cuts, making them more accessible to buyers.

Moto Morini

Moto Morini has taken an aggressive approach by slashing prices on its Seiemmezzo 650 twins.

On top of this, buyers can avail an additional limited-time GST benefit of up to ₹33,000, valid till September 21. 

This brings the effective cost down to levels that rival mainstream middleweight motorcycles, giving Indian riders an affordable gateway into the Italian brand.

Triumph

Triumph’s updates have been more model-specific than sweeping GST cuts. The Speed 400, a hugely popular roadster co-developed with Bajaj, recently received a small revision in its ex-showroom pricing. The 2025 model now lists at ₹2,50,551, an increase of just over ₹4,000 compared to the earlier figure.

 By absorbing the additional tax impact, Bajaj aims to retain strong value in a competitive market, positioning Triumph and KTM as attractive options against rivals like Royal Enfield.

The Burgman Street and its EX version too see reductions close to Rs 10,000, offering a premium scooter experience at a more accessible price point. On the motorcycle side, the Gixxer range benefits significantly, with the standard Gixxer and Gixxer SF seeing cuts of over Rs 11,000 and Rs 12,000 respectively. 

The biggest price drops are seen in the larger-capacity bikes, where the Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250 now save buyers more than Rs 16,000 and Rs 18,000 respectively.

1. How much have two-wheeler prices dropped after GST 2.0?

Depending on the brand and model, prices have fallen anywhere from ₹2,000 on entry-level scooters to ₹18,000 on mid-range motorcycles. Premium bikes above 500cc have seen bigger cuts, in some cases going up to ₹50,000 or more.

2. Which two-wheeler brands have announced price cuts under GST 2.0?

Almost all major brands have revised their prices. For example, Hero Splendor by around ₹4,000, TVS Apache series by up to ₹30,000, and Royal Enfield bikes by up to ₹22,000. 

3. Are commuter motorcycles benefiting more from GST cuts than premium bikes?

Not exactly. While commuter bikes (100cc–160cc) are seeing modest cuts of ₹2,000–₹7,000, premium and performance bikes benefit more in absolute terms, with savings ranging from ₹15,000 to ₹50,000. This makes premium bikes significantly more attractive post-GST 2.0.

4. Will electric scooters and bikes get cheaper after GST 2.0?

Electric two-wheelers already enjoyed a lower 5% GST rate, so the new reforms have not drastically changed their pricing. However, some EV brands are offering ₹1,000–₹3,000 reductions to stay competitive with petrol two-wheelers that now look more affordable.

5. Is this a temporary price cut or a permanent GST benefit?

The reduction comes directly from the revised GST structure, so it is permanent as long as GST rates remain unchanged. However, manufacturers may adjust pricing in the future based on raw material costs, emission norms, or new features.

6. Is the GST price cut on ex-showroom price or on-road price?

The GST price cut applies only to the ex-showroom price of two-wheelers/cars. This is because GST is charged on the base price of the vehicle, not on additional costs. The on-road price includes RTO registration, road tax, insurance, and handling charges, which are not covered by GST changes.
