Hero MotoCorp to Cut Two-Wheeler Prices by up to ₹15,743 After GST Rate Reduction

Hero MotoCorp Ltd. on Wednesday said it will reduce prices of its two-wheelers by ₹5,805–₹15,743, effective September 22, to pass on the benefit of the goods and services tax rate cut.

The GST Council last week reduced the rate on two-wheelers from 28% to 18%. Hero MotoCorp said the move comes at an opportune time ahead of the festive season and will make motorcycles more affordable for India’s mass consumer base.

Its flagship Karizma 210 will see the steepest cut of ₹15,743 (ex-showroom, New Delhi). Prices of the Xpulse 210 and Xtreme 250R will drop by ₹14,516 and ₹14,055, respectively.

At the entry level, the HF Deluxe will be cheaper by ₹5,805, while the Splendor+ will see a cut of ₹6,820 and the Glamour X by ₹7,813.

Hero MotoCorp’s acting CEO Vikram Kasbekar said the price reductions are expected to give a strong demand push during the upcoming festive period.
