Honda Bikes and Scooter Prices Reduced by Up to Rs.18,887

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has announced a major relief for two-wheeler buyers, slashing prices across its lineup by up to Rs. 18,887. The move comes as the Japanese automaker passes on the full Goods and Services Tax (GST) benefits directly to its customers.
GST Rate Revision and Its Impact
Under the revised GST structure, two-wheelers with an engine capacity below 350cc are now taxed at 18 percent, compared to the earlier 28 percent. This significant reduction has led to considerable price cuts across Honda’s most popular commuter and mid-segment motorcycles and scooters, including the Activa, Shine 125, Unicorn, and CB350 range.
However, the story is different for bigger bikes. Two-wheelers above 350cc will now attract 40 percent GST, up from 31 percent. While Honda has not yet revealed the new prices for its premium imported bikes, customers can expect price hikes in that category.
Popular Models See Substantial Savings
From scooters like the Activa and Dio to motorcycles such as the Shine, Unicorn, and Hornet, almost the entire Honda portfolio benefits from this tax revision. For daily commuters and families looking for affordable mobility, this price cut is a welcome step.

What This Means for Buyers
With these revised prices, Honda strengthens its position in India’s highly competitive two-wheeler market. The cuts not only make scooters like the Activa more attractive to urban commuters but also enhance the value proposition of mid-segment motorcycles such as the Unicorn and CB350 range.
For buyers who were waiting for the right time to purchase a new Honda, this GST-driven price reduction presents a golden opportunity.
Conclusion
Honda’s decision to pass on the GST benefits is a win-win for both the brand and its customers. While the hike in GST for premium bikes above 350cc may affect enthusiasts of big machines, the majority of Honda’s bread-and-butter models have become more affordable. This move is expected to drive higher demand, further solidifying Honda’s leadership in India’s two-wheeler segment.
