Adishwar Auto Ride India (AARI), which distributes Chinese-owned brands including Keeway, Zontes, QJ Motor and Benelli in India, has announced that it will pass on the benefits of the revised GST rates to its customers, resulting in price drops across most of its portfolio.
- Keeway, Zontes and QJ Motor models get price cuts
- Benelli line-up likely to see price increases
Keeway, Zontes and QJ Motor benefit from GST cuts
Potential price increase for Benelli models yet to be announced
Some of QJ Motor’s models, including the SRV 300 and SRC 250, benefit from the GST cut as well. However, other models listed on the QJ Motor India website – such as the SRK 400 and SRC 500 – are expected to see an increase in prices.
On the other hand, the Benelli portfolio, which currently only features models above 350cc, like the TRK 502, TRK 502X and 502C, is expected to face price hikes under the new GST structure. These models now fall under the higher 40 percent tax slab, up from the earlier effective rate of 31 percent. AARI has not yet confirmed the revised prices for these models.
The new pricing structure is effective from September 22 and will be applicable across all AARI authorised dealerships nationwide.
All prices are ex-showroom.
