Royal Enfield has given its fans a reason to celebrate. Following the government’s revision of Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates, the company has announced significant price cuts across its popular 350cc motorcycle range. With GST on this category reduced from 28% to 18%, buyers can now save up to ₹20,000 on models like the Classic, Hunter, Bullet, Meteor, and the newly launched Goan 350.
This change makes Royal Enfield motorcycles more affordable while increasing competition in the mid-size motorcycle market. Here’s a detailed look at the new prices and what it means for enthusiasts.
Why The Prices Dropped
The government recently announced a major cut in GST for 350cc motorcycles, bringing it down by 10 percentage points. Royal Enfield, which dominates this segment, immediately passed on the benefit to customers.
This move has reduced the ex-showroom prices of its motorcycles by a significant margin. Depending on the model, the reduction ranges from ₹12,000 to nearly ₹20,000.
Hunter 350: The Budget-Friendly Choice
The Hunter 350, one of the most accessible bikes in Royal Enfield’s lineup, has become even more attractive.
The Factory variant now costs ₹1.37 lakh, down from ₹1.49 lakh.
The Dapper and Rio variants are priced at ₹1.62 lakh.
Special editions like Rebel, London, and Tokyo now cost ₹1.66 lakh.
This makes the Hunter 350 one of the best-value motorcycles in its class, appealing to young riders and first-time buyers.
Bullet 350: A Timeless Classic Gets Cheaper
The iconic Bullet 350, a favorite for generations, has also seen a price cut.
Battalion and Military variants are now priced at ₹1.62 lakh.
The Standard model is available at ₹1.85 lakh.
The top-end Black Gold edition now costs ₹2.02 lakh.
The reduction here ranges between ₹14,400 and ₹18,000, making the legendary Bullet more accessible than before.
Classic 350: Heritage Meets Affordability
The Classic 350, one of Royal Enfield’s bestsellers, has received a price cut of up to ₹19,000 across all trims.
The entry-level Redditch SC now costs ₹1.81 lakh.
The Halcyon SC is priced at ₹1.83 lakh.
Stylish variants like Madras Red, Jodhpur Blue, and Medallion Bronze range between ₹1.87 lakh and ₹1.91 lakh.
The premium Emerald Green sits at ₹2.15 lakh.
This brings the Classic 350 within easier reach for buyers who want a mix of retro styling and modern reliability.
Meteor 350: Cruiser For The Road Trips
The Meteor 350, Royal Enfield’s modern cruiser, has also seen a healthy reduction. Depending on the variant, buyers can now save between ₹17,000 and ₹19,000.
The Fireball starts at ₹1.91 lakh.
The Supernova, the top-end model, now costs ₹2.13 lakh.
For riders who enjoy long-distance cruising with comfort and style, the Meteor now comes at a more appealing price point.
Goan 350: The Newcomer Gets A Boost
The recently launched Goan 350 has not been left out of this revision. With its unique styling inspired by coastal vibes, the model has quickly gained attention.
The Purple Haze and Shack Black are priced at ₹2.17 lakh.
The Rave Red and Trip Teal come in at ₹2.20 lakh.
Each variant has seen a reduction of nearly ₹19,500, which is a big plus for a brand-new launch.
What This Means For Buyers
This price revision has changed the dynamics of the mid-size motorcycle market in India. Royal Enfield, already a leader in this category, now has an even stronger position. Customers who were waiting for the right time to buy can now save a significant amount.
It also makes these motorcycles more competitive against rivals like Honda CB350, Jawa 42, and Yezdi Roadster. With the new pricing, Royal Enfield not only strengthens its loyal fan base but also opens the door to new riders looking for affordable entry into the 350cc class.
Final Thoughts
Royal Enfield’s move to pass on GST benefits to customers is a win-win situation. Buyers now get iconic motorcycles at lower prices, and the company strengthens its hold in the 350cc segment.
If you are planning to buy a Royal Enfield, this is the best time. Whether it’s the sporty Hunter, the classic Bullet, the retro-styled Classic, the highway-friendly Meteor, or the fresh Goan 350, each bike now offers better value than before.
