While almost all manufacturers are increasing the prices of their motorcycles with engines bigger than 350cc, Bajaj has decided to absorb the cost instead of passing it on to the customer
- Bajaj will not increase prices on locally made Triumph and KTM motorcycles
- Will increase their edge against rivals like Royal Enfield
India-made Triumph, KTM bikes price post-GST
The GST is up from 31 percent to 40 percent for bikes above 350cc
While Bajaj has extended the full GST benefit to customers on its sub 350cc bikes, the company has made a surprise move by keeping prices constant for the Triumph 400cc and KTM 390 models. The company has not stated how long these prices will remain constant, but this will surely help increase showroom footfall for both brands.
As a result of this move, the new KTM 390 Adventure X is now more affordable than the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the same goes for the Triumph Speed 400 vs the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.
As things stand, The Triumph Speed T4 price remains at Rs 1.99 lakh, while the Speed 400 costs the same Rs 2.5 lakh ex-showroom. The Triumph Scrambler range is priced between Rs 2.68 lakh and Rs 2.94 lakh, while the new Triumph Thruxton 400 costs the same Rs 2.74 lakh ex-showroom.
As for the KTMs, the 390 Duke is priced at Rs 2.97 lakh, the RC 390 at Rs 3.23 lakh, and the Enduro R at Rs 3.39 lakh for the India spec model and Rs 3.53 lakh for the Global spec bike with the extra suspension travel. As for the KTM ADVs, the 390 Adventure X is priced at Rs 3.04 lakh ex-showroom while the 390 Adventure costs Rs 3.68 lakh, all prices ex-showroom Delhi.
