Royal Enfield has confirmed that while customers benefit from price cuts on its 350cc range under the revised GST regime, motorcycles above 350cc will become more expensive. Once the new 40 percent GST comes into effect on September 22, prices will go up for 9 of the 14 models in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The company has confirmed that ex-showroom prices will increase by a flat 7.3 percent for all models above 350cc.
- Smallest price hike is Rs 15,131, applicable to Scram 440
- Ex-showroom prices for all eligible models rise by 7.3 percent
- Super Meteor 650 sees the steepest increase of up to Rs 29,486
Royal Enfield Scram, Guerilla, Himalayan price increase
Prices increase by up to Rs 21,682
The Royal Enfield Scram, with its 443cc engine, is the smallest capacity motorcycle in the brand’s line-up above 350cc, and also the most affordable. It sees the lowest price hike, with increases ranging from Rs 15,131 on the base variant to Rs 15,641 on the top-end variant.
Barring the 650 models, the Himalayan 450 sees the steepest hike. Prices for the top-end Hanle Black colourway go up by a significant Rs 21,682, taking its ex-showroom price to lakh Rs 3.20 lakh from Rs 2.98 lakh.
Royal Enfield 650cc range hit hardest
Prices increase by up to Rs 29,486
The Royal Enfield 650cc twin-cylinder range – comprising the Interceptor, Continental GT, Classic 650, Shotgun 650, Bear 650, and Super Meteor – sees the most substantial increases, with some variants rising by up to Rs 29,486.
These larger-capacity models make up a significant part of Royal Enfield’s portfolio and have been crucial to the brand’s growth both in India and globally. However, with the GST-driven price revisions, they now become less accessible to more price-sensitive buyers.
The revised pricing comes into effect on September 22, so if you’re planning to purchase one of these motorcycles, now would be the best time to do so.
All prices are ex-showroom, Chennai.
