Bajaj Auto shares rise over 2% after GST rate cut comes into effect

The surge in the stock price came after the GST rate cut came into effect from Monday, September 22.

The GST Council cut tax on small cars and two-wheelers under 1,200cc petrol, 1,500cc diesel, and bikes under 350cc-from 28% to 18%. Mid-size and big cars, above 1,500cc or over 4,000mm in length will now face a flat 40% GST instead of the earlier 45–50% with cess.

After that, Bajaj Auto, on September 9, announced that it would fully pass on the recent GST reduction to customers, offering ₹20,000 on two-wheelers and KTM motorcycles, and up to ₹24,000 on the three-wheeler range, effective September 22.

Commenting on the price cut, Rakesh Sharma, Executive of Bajaj Auto, said: "Two- and three-wheeler mobility is the backbone of livelihoods and fulfils many family aspirations. At Bajaj Auto Ltd, we are delighted to support the initiative, making our vehicles more affordable just as the festive season begins."

Along with the GST rate cut, Bajaj Auto on September 22, also announced that it will pass on the government’s GST reduction for motorcycles under 350cc entirely to customers, along with an additional 50% financing benefit. The company said the combined measures will provide Pulsar buyers with 1.5 times the GST advantage, aimed at enhancing ownership value during the festive season.

As part of this initiative, Bajaj has rolled out the Hattrick Offer, which includes three elements: the full GST reduction, zero processing charges, and comprehensive insurance benefits.

Under the Hattrick Offer, buyers of the Pulsar NS125 ABS will see savings of ₹12,206, while those opting for the Pulsar N160 USD will gain benefits worth ₹15,759 in Delhi.

The announcement follows the recent launch of Pulsar’s campaign - “Duniya Dekhti Hai Tu Dikha” - which encourages young riders to express their individuality. The company said the Hattrick Offer provides an added reason for customers to celebrate during the festive season.
