Royal Enfield Slashes 350cc Prices but Hikes 440cc to 650cc Models After GST Update

Royal Enfield has cut 350cc bike prices by up to ₹22,000, while 440cc–650cc models see hikes of ₹15,000–₹30,000. Entry models get cheaper, but top-end bikes now cost more.

Royal Enfield Price Cut declared last week that all of its 350cc motorcycles would have their costs reduced by up to Rs 22,000 as a result of the Government of India lowering the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates and doing away with the compensating cess. The updated price list for the whole portfolio has now been made public by the Chennai-based motorcycle manufacturer.

Sub-350cc Models Benefit from Lower GST Rates

Royal Enfield‘s sub-350cc models now enjoy savings of up to ₹20,000 because of a reduced GST rate of 18%, which is made possible by the dual GST rates for bikes. The prices of its other bikes, which have engines ranging from 440cc to 650cc, have gone up, though, with hikes costing anywhere from ₹15,000 to around ₹29,500.

Hunter 350 and Bullet 350 See Big Price Drops

The Hunter 350 has decreased by about ₹20,000, and it currently costs between ₹1,37,640 and ₹1,66,883. After dropping by roughly ₹18,000, the Bullet 350 enters a more reasonable range of ₹1,62,161 to ₹2,02,409. Buyers now have reduced entry points with both models.

Classic 350 and Meteor 350 Follow the Same Trend

With updated cost ranging from ₹1,81,118 to ₹2,15,750, the classic 350 models are almost ₹19,000 less expensive. The Meteor 350, which is currently priced between ₹1,91,233 and ₹2,13,521, follows a similar pattern with price reductions of about ₹19,000. This makes the entire 350cc range more affordable.
