    Yamaha R3 and MT-03 Could Get Rs 30k Price Cut With GST Revision

    Yamaha R3Recently, Yamaha Motor India announced the new prices of its portfolio in response to the revised GST 2.0 tax slabs introduced by the Indian Government. The maximum price cut was enjoyed by its popular R15 motorcycle at Rs 17,581 (Ex-sh). Alongside R15, Yamaha announced price cuts for all of its motorcycles and scooters sold in India.
    However, there were two vehicles missing from this list and were not subject to any price hikes. These are R3 and MT-03, both of which are powered by a 321cc engine, eligible for GST 2.0 tax reforms. New report suggests that Yamaha is considering to offer a price cut of around Rs 30,000 with R3 and MT-03, making them more affordable to buyers.
    Yamaha R3 and MT-03 Rs 30k Price Cut
    Only the R3 and MT-03 in Yamaha’s Indian portfolio are brought into the country via the CBU route, while others are locally manufactured. Both of these vehicles had received lukewarm response from Indian motorcycling enthusiasts owing to their high prices and the fact that they are older generation models, when compared to global markets.
    Yamaha MT-03
    Yamaha is trying to fix the pricing aspect of these motorcycles as the company recently employed up to Rs 1.1 lakh price reduction on R3 and MT-03. With this new pricing strategy, R3 was priced at Rs 3.60 lakh (Ex-sh) and MT-03 at Rs 3.5 lakh (Ex-sh). Now, Yamaha is set to slash prices further with the new GST 2.0 reforms.
    A recent report has revealed that Yamaha will be offering a price cut of up to Rs 30,000 on R3 and MT-03, taking the Ex-sh prices down to around Rs 3.2 lakh for MT-03 and Rs 3.3 lakh for R3. These motorcycles lock horns with motorcycles like KTM 390 Duke, RC 390, TVS Apache RTR 310, Apache RR 310, Triumph Speed 400 and Thruxton 400 among others.
    Any other updates?
    Both motorcycles are powered by the same 321cc parallel twin cylinder DOHC 4V/cyl liquid cooled engine with up to 42 bhp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. While all of R3 and MT-03’s rivals have gotten more expensive with GST 2.0 reforms, Yamaha seems to be having the last laugh.
    These premium imported motorcycles are sold via Yamaha’s Blue Square dealerships and Yamaha is yet to release current versions of R3 and MT-03 in India available in global markets.

    Yamaha Price Cuts Up to Rs 18k – R15, MT15, Fascino, RayZR, Aerox, FZ

    New Yamaha R15India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has announced that it will fully pass on the benefit of the recent GST revision on two-wheelers to its customers. The updated prices will come into effect from 22nd September 2025, coinciding with the festive season when demand for motorcycles and scooters typically peaks in India.
    With the GST rate on two-wheelers brought down from 28% to 18%, Yamaha’s entire lineup—spanning sporty motorcycles, hybrids, and scooters—has become more accessible. The move is expected to boost sales in the entry-level and premium commuter categories, which are highly price-sensitive.
    Variant-Wise GST Benefits:
    RayZR:
    Old Price Rs 93,760 vs New Price Rs 86,001 (Benefit: Rs 7,759)
    Fascino:
    Old Price Rs 1,02,790 vs New Price Rs 94,281 (Benefit: Rs 8,509)
    FZ-S Fi Hybrid:
    Old Price Rs 1,45,190 vs New Price Rs 1,33,159 (Benefit: Rs 12,031)
    FZ-X Hybrid:
    Old Price Rs 1,49,990 vs New Price Rs 1,37,560 (Benefit: Rs 12,430)
    Aerox 155 Version S:
    Old Price Rs 1,53,890 vs New Price Rs 1,41,137 (Benefit: Rs 12,753)
    MT15:
    Old Price Rs 1,80,500 vs New Price Rs 1,65,536 (Benefit: Rs 14,964)
    R15:
    Old Price Rs 2,12,020 vs New Price Rs 1,94,439 (Benefit: Rs 17,581)
    Variant-Wise GST Benefits
    Speaking on the development, Itaru Otani, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group, said: “We would like to thank the Government of India for the timely reduction in GST on two-wheelers. This step will provide a strong boost to the two-wheeler demand during the festive season. By making two-wheelers more affordable, it will not only benefit customers directly but also stimulate overall consumption and create positive momentum for the industry. At Yamaha, we are pleased to pass on the full benefit of this reduction to our customers across India.”
    Industry Insight
    The timing of this move is crucial. Two-wheeler sales have seen uneven recovery post-COVID, with premium motorcycles and sporty scooters like the R15 and Aerox 155 witnessing stronger traction compared to mass commuter bikes. By lowering ownership costs, Yamaha aims to capture festive demand while strengthening its position in the premium commuter and scooter markets.
    Dealers are also likely to benefit from increased footfall, as buyers who were postponing purchases in anticipation of GST cuts may now advance their buying decisions. Customers can approach authorized Yamaha dealerships for variant-specific price confirmations and ongoing festive offers. More

    Yamaha Sales Breakup July 2025 – RayZR, FZ, MT15, R15, Fascino

    New Yamaha MT15 – Patna BikesYamaha RayZR, FZ, MT15 and R15 Continued to Lead Sales with Strong MoM Gains Despite YoY Decline
    India Yamaha Motor reported mixed sales performance in July 2025. The company saw a decline on a year-on-year (YoY) basis but managed to bounce back with strong month-on-month (MoM) growth. Total domestic sales stood at 50,365 units, marking a 9.80% drop compared to 55,838 units sold in July 2024 — a volume decline of 5,473 units. However, on a MoM basis, Yamaha recorded a healthy 13.39% increase, adding 5,948 units over 44,417 units sold in June 2025.
    The improvement in MoM sales indicates that Yamaha’s refreshed product strategy and festive season preparations are resonating with customers. The company recently introduced the 2025 MT-15 Version 2.0 with updated technology and new colours. Alongside, Yamaha launched the 2025 Fascino and RayZR, both 125cc scooters with Hybrid technology, aiming to boost demand ahead of the festive rush.
    Yamaha RayZR Tops the Charts
    Yamaha RayZR continued as the brand’s best-seller, clocking 16,421 units in July 2025. This represented an 11.78% YoY growth compared to 14,690 units sold in July 2024, and a solid MoM gain of 15.04% over 14,274 units in June 2025. Holding a commanding 32.60% share of Yamaha’s portfolio, RayZR remains the key volume driver for the brand.
    Yamaha Sales Breakup July 2025 – YoY Comparison
    The FZ followed at No. 2 with 11,110 units sold. It posted a marginal 1.33% YoY growth from 10,964 units in July 2024 and a steady 3.19% MoM rise. Yamaha MT15, though weaker on YoY terms with a 13.70% decline (8,514 units vs. 9,866 units in July 2024), managed to recover on a MoM basis with a strong 19.53% jump over June’s 7,125 units.
    Yamaha R15 Sees Sharp MoM Recovery
    The R15 supersport bike struggled YoY, dropping 23.98% to 6,623 units compared to 8,712 units in July 2024. However, MoM numbers told a different story as sales surged by 51.21% over 4,380 units in June 2025 — the highest percentage growth among Yamaha’s key models last month.
    Yamaha Sales Breakup July 2025 – MoM Comparison
    Yamaha Fascino faced headwinds with sales at 5,450 units, down 45.78% YoY and 11.02% MoM. The dip is likely due to customers awaiting the facelifted 2025 Fascino, which debuted on August 14 with significant updates. Further down the order, Yamaha Aerox posted 2,239 units while R3/MT03 together accounted for 8 units, both registering steady growth over last year.
    Overall, while Yamaha’s July sales highlighted YoY challenges, the strong MoM rebound across RayZR, FZ, MT15, and especially R15 suggests momentum could build up in the coming festive season with new launches driving demand. More
