The government of India has just announced an increase in the GST rate on motorcycles above 350 cc from 28% to 40%. Therefore, all bikes above 350 cc have now become dearer. On the flipside, the GST rate for motorcycles up to 350 cc has been dropped from 28% to 18%. These revised GST rates will therefore affect the two-wheeler market significantly. The sale of 350 cc motorcycles and those below 350 cc may increase, while the sale of those above 350 cc may decrease.
