Hero MotoCorp, Indiaโs leading two-wheeler manufacturer, has rolled out substantial price cuts across its diverse lineup of motorcycles and scooters, capitalizing on the newly implemented GST 2.0 tax benefits. This strategic move delivers significant savings to customers just in time for the festive season, making Heroโs vehicles more affordable and appealing to a broad audience. The tax reductions, primarily affecting two-wheelers up to 350 cc, have led to notable price drops across Heroโs commuter bikes, scooters, and select premium models, enhancing their value proposition in a highly competitive market.
Significant Savings Across Key Models
The most substantial discounts are seen in the 200-250 cc segment, where models like the XPulse 210 and Xtreme 250R have been reduced by up to Rs. 14,516 and Rs. 14,055, respectively. These adventure and performance-oriented motorcycles now offer greater accessibility to enthusiasts seeking thrilling rides without breaking the bank. Similarly, the Xtreme 160R 4V, a popular choice among urban riders, sees a price slash of nearly Rs. 11,000, making it an even more compelling option in its category.
Heroโs commuter motorcycles, which form the backbone of its sales, have also received meaningful reductions. The iconic Splendor Plus, Indiaโs best-selling bike, now costs up to Rs. 6,820 less. Other staples like the HF Deluxe and Glamour X benefit from price cuts ranging from Rs. 5,805 to Rs. 7,813. In a market where affordability drives purchasing decisions, these reductions are poised to boost Heroโs dominance in the commuter segment.
Scooters and Premium Models Join the Price Drop
Heroโs scooter lineup has not been overlooked. The Pleasure Plus and Destini 125, favored by city commuters for their ease of use, are now more budget-friendly with savings exceeding Rs. 6,000. The Xoom series, including the Xoom 110, Xoom 125, and Xoom 160, enjoys reductions ranging from Rs. 6,597 to Rs. 11,602, catering to diverse urban mobility needs. Additionally, the Passion Plus, a reliable commuter bike, sees a price cut of Rs. 6,500, further strengthening its appeal.
The recently reintroduced Karizma 210, a stylish naked supersport, benefits from a Rs. 7,135 price reduction, making it an attractive option for riders seeking a blend of performance and affordability. The Super Splendor XTEC, known for its advanced features, also sees a price drop of up to Rs. 7,254, adding to its value in the premium commuter segment.
Nationwide Rollout and Festive Boost
Hero MotoCorp has confirmed that these revised prices will take effect across its dealership network starting September 22, 2025, aligning with the GST 2.0 rollout. To sweeten the deal, the company is expected to introduce additional festive offers, potentially amplifying savings for buyers planning purchases around Diwali. This combination of tax benefits and promotional deals positions Hero to capture a larger share of the festive season market.
