Honda Slashes Prices Of Its Bike And Scooter Portfolio Post GST Revision

Honda has revised the asking price of its two-wheeler lineup after the government cut goods and services tax rates on two-wheelers under 350 cc displacement. The manufacturer confirmed it would transfer the entire tax benefit to buyers, with savings reaching up to ₹18,887 on certain models.

The CB350 family receives the largest price cuts, with the standard CB350 dropping by ₹18,887, the CB350 H'ness reducing by ₹18,598, and the CB350RS falling by ₹18,857.

The price reductions coincide with India's festive buying season, which Honda expects will attract new customers to dealerships and increase two-wheeler adoption rates. However, the company faces challenges from higher tax rates imposed on motorcycles above 350 cc, which will impact most models in its premium BigWing range. This becomes all the more disappointing, as the brand had aggressively expanded its premium bike earlier this year. The manufacturer has not specified when the new pricing will take effect across its dealer network.
