New Delhi: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has announced major price reductions across its two-wheeler lineup after the GST Council slashed tax rates on motorcycles and scooters up to 350cc from 28% to 18%. The move translates into ex-showroom price benefits of up to ₹18,887, depending on the model.
Popular scooters including the Honda Activa and Dio, as well as motorcycles such as the Shine, Unicorn, Hornet, and CB350 series, are among those seeing significant price cuts.
Model-wise GST Benefits (Ex-showroom Delhi):

(Other models like Livo, SP125, SP160, NX200, and CB125 Hornet also see reductions.)
Yogesh Mathur, Director (Sales & Marketing), HMSI, said:
“We welcome the government’s GST reform, which makes two-wheelers more affordable and strengthens mobility and economic growth. This timely move will benefit both customers and the overall industry.”
Wider GST Reforms
Starting September 22, 2025, GST on small cars, two-wheelers up to 350cc, three-wheelers, buses, and ambulances will be reduced to 18%, bringing down the prices of popular mass-market vehicles such as the Honda Activa, Hero Splendor, Bajaj Pulsar, Maruti Suzuki Alto, Hyundai Grand i10, and Tata Tiago.
At the same time, GST on auto components has been streamlined into a uniform 18% slab, replacing the earlier complicated classification system. Compact hybrid cars also benefit from this reform.
However, luxury vehicles, SUVs, and motorcycles above 350cc will now attract a 40% GST rate. Agricultural machinery has also seen relief, with GST reduced from 12% to 5% on tractors, harvesters, threshers, and other essential equipment.
Industry experts expect the move to boost demand during the festive season and provide a big push to both personal mobility and the automobile sector.
