No Price Change for Benelli and Moto Morini Bikes Despite GST Hike

Adishwar Auto Ride has confirmed that prices for some high-displacement motorcycles, including the Moto Morini X-Cape, Seiemmezzo 650 range, and the Benelli 502C, will remain unchanged despite the recent GST hike on bikes above 350cc. The price protection during the festive period is intended to support customers during the high-demand period, though price revisions may follow later. Under the revised GST framework, motorcycles with engine capacities up to 350cc now attract a lower tax rate of 18%, down from the previous 28%. In contrast, bikes with engines above 350cc are now taxed 40%, up from the earlier effective rate of 31%. Notably, other major manufacturers such as Triumph, Bajaj, and KTM have also opted to keep prices stable for their larger-displacement models, absorbing the tax increase for now. Read on for more details.

Moto Morini, Benelli Bikes Unaffected by GST 2.0 Price Increase

With the festive season on the horizon, Adishwar Auto Ride’s decision to hold prices steady across its premium offerings creates a strong opportunity for the brand to attract a wider base of customers. The Moto Morini Seiemmezzo, available in both Retro Street and Scrambler versions, continues to be attractively priced at Rs 4.30 lakh. Meanwhile, the adventure-focused X-Cape 650 is available for Rs 5.99 lakh for the standard version and Rs 6.30 lakh for the X variant. Benelli’s muscular 502C also retains its pre-GST price of Rs 5.25 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).

As for a sharply increased GST rate of 40% for motorcycles above 350cc, this decision not only shields buyers from immediate cost hikes but also strengthens the brands’ positioning as one of the key customer-centric players in the competitive industry. Adishwar Auto Ride’s decision to absorb the tax hike boosts the appeal of Moto Morini and Benelli bikes.
