Intro

Yamaha has announced a broad two-wheeler price cut, passing on the full GST benefit after rates on sub-350cc models dropped from 28% to 18% – and that matters because flagship models like the R15 see up to ₹17,581 off from September 22, 2025. For value-focused buyers in the festive run-up, this means lower acquisition costs without compromising on features or performance.

Why it matters now

GST Council’s move to 18% for two-wheelers up to 350cc immediately makes two-wheelers more affordable in India’s largest motorised personal mobility segment and Yamaha says every eligible bike and scooter will get the full benefit. With deliveries peaking around Navratri–Diwali, the timing is perfect to nudge fence-sitters to book sooner to get the new ex-showroom prices.

Model-wise reductions at a glance

• R15 Series: Buyers of the popular R15 series will see the biggest price benefits, with a maximum reduction of ₹17,581 on the flagship R15M. The new ex-showroom Delhi price for the R15M is now ₹1,94,439, a significant drop from its previous price of ₹2,12,020.
• MT-15: Price benefit of ₹14,964, making it more affordable for performance enthusiasts who weigh performance against monthly EMIs.

Context and impact

Yamaha’s announcement is in line with industry trend after GST 2.0 as brands are quick to pass on the benefit to boost demand. Yamaha India head Itaru Otani has publicly thanked the government, indicating a festive demand lift as the reduced tax will directly impact on-road pricing. Practically, buyers can expect around 8–10% headline benefit on targeted models, with dealership quotes reflecting new ex-showroom prices from September 22.

Buyer takeaway

If a 150–155cc premium bike or scooter has been on the radar, the new prices bring it closer to entry without compromising on spec – R15’s ₹17,581 cut is hard to ignore. Booking early could get the GST-linked cut and seasonal offers but availability and city-wise freight can still impact the final on-road price.
