Jawa And Yezdi Motorcycles Now Under Rs 2 Lakh; Details!
The new GST rates benefit Jawa and Yezdi hugely, considering that Jawa has both 293cc and 334cc engines in its lineup, while Yezdi's lineup consists of 334cc motorcycles. These motorcycles fall under the 350cc segment, and therefore fall under the new 18 percent tax slab, which results in reduced ex-showroom prices.
Here is how the pricing of the entire Jawa lineup looks, before and after the new GST reforms:
| Model | Old Price | New Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jawa 42 | Rs 1,72,942 | Rs 1,59,431 | Rs 13,511 |
| Jawa 350 | Rs 1,98,950 | Rs 1,83,407 | Rs 15,543 |
| Jawa 42 Bobber | Rs 2,09,500 | Rs 1,93,133 | Rs 16,367 |
| Jawa 42 FJ | Rs 2,10,142 | Rs 1,93,725 | Rs 16,417 |
| Jawa Perak | Rs 2,16,705 | Rs 1,99,775 | Rs 16,930 |
Similarly, the Yezdi lineup consists of the Roadster, Scrambler, and the Adventure. Now while the Adventure and Roadster have received mid-life updates, the Scrambler will also follow with one soon enough. Here is how the pricing of the Yezdi lineup looks now with the new GST rates:
| Model | Old Price | New Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadster | Rs 2,09,969 | Rs 1,93,565 | Rs 16,404 |
| Adventure | Rs 2,14,900 | Rs 1,98,111 | Rs 16,789 |
| Scrambler | Rs 2,11,900 | Rs 1,95,345 | Rs 16,555 |
Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles said The governments bold and timely GST reforms will bring a tectonic shift for the greater good, echoing the historic transition from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines. Classic Legends welcomes the GST rationalisation, especially the reduced rate of 18 percent for under-350cc motorcycles, which covers our 293cc and 334cc Jawa and Yezdi performance classics."
He also said While it raises the tax burden for higher cc motorcycles such as our 652cc BSA Gold Star, we accept it as the hallmark of progressive taxation. The trade-off makes mid-segment bikes accessible to a larger rider community -- a win for Indias motorcycling culture. We thank the Honble Finance Minister for the fresh impetus for demand that will energise the economy amid a slowdown and global tariff wars. Decades ago, our brands faded due to a policy shift; today, policy foresight is helping restore their legendary stature. We will pass on 100% of the GST benefit to our customers. Coinciding with the festive season, we are telling young Indians who aspire to own a true iconic performance motorcycle. Your time is now,
Additionally, both brands also offer ownership benefits such as a 4-year/50,000-km standard warranty, extended coverage options of up to six years, one year of roadside assistance and certain other things.
Verdict
The new GST rates have hugely benefitted both Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles, which fall under the 350cc category and therefore are exempted from the sin tax category of over 40 percent. This will certainly help its case when compared to rivals like Royal Enfield.
