Royal Enfield Cuts Prices on 350cc Line as GST 2.0 Kicks In Sept. 22

A lower 18% GST on sub‑350cc bikes paired with a 40% levy on larger engines reshapes pricing—350cc models get cheaper, 450cc/650cc lines get costlier.

Overview

  • Royal Enfield will pass the full tax benefit to buyers, cutting ex‑showroom prices on its 350cc range by up to about Rs 22,000 effective September 22.
  • Post‑revision tags for the 350cc lineup now span roughly Rs 1.38 lakh to Rs 2.20 lakh depending on variant, according to model‑wise lists.
  • Eligible models include the Hunter 350, Classic 350, Bullet 350, Meteor 350 and Goan Classic, all powered by the 349cc J‑series engine.
  • B Govindarajan said the company is directly passing the GST reduction to consumers to broaden access to its entry range.
  • Models above 350cc see hikes tied to the new 40% rate, with 450cc bikes up to about Rs 22,000 more and 650cc variants higher by roughly Rs 22,500–30,000.
