GST Effect: Yamaha Marginally Drops (Two-Wheeler) Prices

In a bit to pass on GST benefits to customers, Yamaha has dropped prices across the range. Here’s the updated price list.

Yamaha has released post-GST prices for its range of two-wheelers sold in India. For those living under a rock, GST (Goods and Service Tax) is a unified tax norm brought forth by the government that aims to channel all existing taxes into one singular tax. Read here to know more about GST and its impact on two-wheelers.

Model	Pre-GST prices	Post-GST prices	Difference
R15 V2.0	119788	118838	950
FZ25	120385	119335	1050

The previous tax structure had all two-wheelers being levied 30 per cent tax. Under the new tax rules this comes down to 28 per cent for two-wheelers having engine capacities below 350cc. The benefits have been passed on to customers via a reduction in ex-showroom prices, though the difference is marginal for most bikes in this category. For Yamaha, the reduction in price ranges from Rs 244 for the Saluto RX to Rs 1,050 for the FZ-25.

 

Model	Pre-GST prices	Post-GST prices	Difference
FZ	81611	81040	571
FZ S	83674	83042	632
Fazer	88820	88143	677
Saluto 125 Drum	54165	53898	267
Saluto 125 Disc	56665	56364	301
Saluto RX	47965	47721	244

More importantly, although ex-showroom prices for two-wheelers have gone down thanks to GST, it is yet to be ascertained how much customers will stand to gain since on-road prices of bikes may still rise due to an increase in tax rates of vehicle insurance and RTO prices.

 

Model	Pre-GST prices	Post-GST prices	Difference
Fascino	55015	54593	422
Alpha Disc	55271	54930	341
Ray-Z	51051	50817	234
Ray-ZR Disc	56215	55898	317
Ray-ZR Drum	53715	53451	264
