Intro

Keeway Bikes Price Drop is now live in India with cuts of up to Rs 30,000 post GST slab change for sub-350cc two-wheelers – why it matters: it makes popular entry and mid-tier models more affordable before the festive season and pressures rivals in the value segment.

What changed with GST

India’s GST for two-wheelers under 350cc has been reduced to 18% from 28% while bikes above 350cc move to 40% from 28%. All current Keeway motorcycles are under 350cc so the entire lineup is eligible for the lower slab and hence the price cuts.

New prices and drops

• V302C: New price Rs 3,99,000; drop Rs 30,000—biggest drop in the range.
• SR125: New price Rs 1,16,250; drop Rs 8,750—most affordable Keeway commuter gets cheaper.
• SR250: New price Rs 1,43,000; drop Rs 10,780—budget and performance bridged with a real drop.
• K-Light 250V: New price Rs 2,50,000; drop Rs 19,000—value cruiser gets an edge.
• K300 SF: New price Rs 1,57,200; drop Rs 11,800—faired option becomes more recommendable.
• RR300: New price Rs 1,85,000; drop Rs 14,000—now in smaller displacement rival territory.

These new ex-showroom prices are effective from September 22, 2025 as per distributor communication in industry reports.

Market impact and rivals

Immediate beneficiaries are price sensitive buyers who were considering in the 150–300cc band, as the net effective reduction can close the gap to finance EMIs by a decent margin. Rival brands in the same <350cc segment may follow suit, while models above 350cc – many Benelli offerings – will get costlier due to the higher 40% GST rate.

Positioning within the segment

With the V302C’s Rs 30,000 drop, Keeway’s twin-cylinder cruiser has a stronger case against the QJ Motor SRV 300 which itself has seen cuts, making the value cruiser segment more competitive. The RR300’s new price pulls it closer to entry sport models, making it more appealing to first time sportbike buyers graduating from 150cc bikes.

Conclusion

Overall, the Keeway Bikes Price Drop is in line with the new tax and sharpens showroom value, especially for the V302C and RR300, should see test ride numbers increase once the new prices go live.
