A price deduction will appear in the Royal Enfield’s 350 cc motorcycle range, while large models will be expensive.
Royal Enfield has announced that its 350 cc engine-operated motorcycle will be cheaper from 22 September behind tax restructuring under GST 2.0 regime. The retro motorcycle manufacturer has stated that its 350 cc engine-operated motorcycle, such as Classic 350, Goan Classic 350, Hunter 350, Metor 350 and Bullet 350, will see a price cut, which will be effective from September 22, on the same date on which the new GST regime will be effective in the whole of India.
While 350 cc engine propelized motorcycles will see a decrease in price, motorcycles with 450 cc and 650 cc engine will be expensive by a decent margin from the same date. This means that motorcycles such as Scramas 440, Himalayan 450, Guerrilla 450, Classic 650, Beer 650, Shotgun 650, Super Metor 650, Interpreter 650 and Continental GT 650 will be Costelier.
However, the two-wheeler manufacturer has not disclosed the spectrum of price cut and price increase.
How GST 2.0 affects motorcycles in India
Earlier this month, the GST Council announced the reorganization of the tax slab. Under GST 2.0 regime, two-wheelers with engine capacity under 350 cc will now attract 18 percent tax rate, which is now below the applicable 28 percent. However, two-wheelers with more than 350 cc engine displacement will see a 40 percent increased tax rate, compared to the last 28 percent GST and three percent cess, resulting in a total tax phenomenon of 31 percent. A total tax increase of nine percent will significantly increase the prices of large motorcycles with engine displacement above 350 cc.
Due to these revived tax rates, Royal Enfield’s 350 cc engine-powered motorcycle will be inexpensive, while large models will be pricier.
