If you’ve been eyeing a TVS motorcycle, you’re in luck! The government has announced that all bikes and scooters under 350cc will now have a GST of 18%, down from the previous 28%. TVS has confirmed it will pass on the full benefit of this price cut to customers, making its bikes much more affordable. The new prices will take effect on September 22, 2025, so if you’ve been waiting, now is the time to get ready to buy.
Biggest Price Drop on the Apache RTR 310
The Apache RTR 310, TVS’s stylish street naked, is set to receive the biggest price drop in the company’s lineup. With a current price of Rs 3,11,000, the motorcycle is expected to get cheaper by around Rs 24,496. This will bring the new ex-showroom price down to approximately Rs 2,86,504, which is a fantastic deal for a bike loaded with features and great performance.
Apache RR 310 Becomes More Affordable
The Apache RR 310, a full-faired sports bike with the same engine as the RTR 310, is also getting a big price drop. Its current top-end variant is priced at Rs 2,94,999, but after the new GST norms, it’s expected to receive a price cut of around Rs 23,171. This makes the RR 310 a much more attractive option and creates an even larger price gap between it and its main rival, the KTM RC 390.
Price Drops on Other TVS Models
The popular cruiser TVS Ronin will get a price cut of around Rs 13,533, bringing its price down to about Rs 1,60,187. The updated Apache RTR 200 4V, which recently received a new design and a TFT screen, is also expected to get cheaper by around Rs 12,490, with a new price of roughly Rs 1,47,500. The Apache RTR 160 4V will see a price drop of around Rs 11,688, making it an even more affordable commuter.
