Bajaj Auto Slashes Motorcycle Prices by up to ₹20,000, Passing on Full GST Benefit to Customers
Bajaj Makes Two-Wheelers More Accessible with Festive Season Price Cuts
In a landmark decision timed just ahead of the festive season, Bajaj Auto has announced that it will fully pass on the recent GST reduction to its customers. The move, which takes effect from September 22, 2025, makes a wide range of motorcycles more affordable, allowing consumers to celebrate the festive period with significant savings.
The price reduction is a direct result of the government’s GST reform, which is designed to lift consumer sentiment and boost the auto sector. For buyers of two-wheelers under 350cc, this translates to savings of up to ₹20,000 on models from both the Bajaj and KTM lineups. This makes a new 2025 Bajaj motorcycle purchase, whether it’s a commuter, cruiser, or a performance-oriented bike, more attractive than ever.
Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto, stated that this initiative is a “bold step forward” that will “unlock their demand and set the industry on a firm growth path”. He added that two- and three-wheelers are the backbone of many livelihoods and family aspirations, and Bajaj is delighted to make its vehicles more affordable.
The price drop is particularly appealing for popular models like the Bajaj Pulsar, Avenger, Platina, CT, and Dominar, which are central to the company’s portfolio. The lower prices will improve accessibility for a wide range of riders, from young enthusiasts to daily commuters and small business owners.
