This comes as a major relief for enthusiasts ahead of the festive season.

Reinforcing its strong footprint in India’s premium motorcycle market, KTM continues to deliver on its promise of “Ready to Race” performance. Speaking on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking Business Unit, highlighted that KTM’s commitment lies in keeping performance motorcycling accessible, while building on the trust of its half a million Indian customers.

Triumph Motorcycles, in partnership with Bajaj Auto, has announced that its 400cc range will continue at the same ex-showroom prices, despite the recent GST hike from 28% to 40% on bikes above 350cc. By absorbing the additional cost, the brands have ensured ownership remains unaffected for Indian buyers.

The move covers models like the Speed 400, Scrambler 400 XC, Scrambler 400X, Thruxton 400, and Speed T4, all of which have become popular for blending classic design with modern performance.

Commenting on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking at Bajaj Auto, said that keeping prices unchanged reflects the companies’ commitment to enthusiasts and their vision to grow Triumph’s presence in India.
