Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been in the headlines for a long time now. It had been quite a suspense having to wait for what effect would it have on our daily lives and how would it impact purchases. ‘One country one tax’ has been brought into effect and now we have greater clarity over changes in prices of cars and two-wheelers. Most of the car segments have seen a positive impact with a reduction in ex-showroom prices. For motorcycles too, there has been a reduction in prices for motorcycles under 350cc, but a price hike for motorcycles over 350cc. These price cuts and hikes, however, will further be affected by manufacturer’s decision to pass down the benefits to customers post considering price changes in raw material and parts. Following is a list of cars and motorcycles that have seen a price cut post GST:
