New Delhi: Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) has welcomed the government’s 2025 GST reforms. The company has decided to pass on the full GST benefit to its customers. From September 22, 2025, Honda bikes and scooters will get price cuts of up to Rs 18,887.
Thanks to the new GST rules, two-wheelers with engine capacity under 350cc now attract just 18% tax. Earlier, the tax rate was 28%. This means popular Honda models like the Activa, Shine 125, Unicorn, and CD 350 will become more affordable. However, bikes above 350cc will now face a higher tax of 40%, up from the earlier 31%.
