TL;DR
KTM has increased prices for its 390cc motorcycles, including the 390 Adventure X, by up to Rs 40,000 due to revised GST rates, ahead of introducing new 350cc models in India.
KTM has implemented price increases across its 390cc motorcycle lineup in India, with the 390 Adventure X now costing an additional Rs 17,000. This adjustment brings the starting price of the 390 Adventure X to Rs 3.43 lakh. The 390 Duke has also seen a significant hike of Rs 40,000. These price revisions are attributed to the increased Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates for bikes exceeding 350cc, a cost that KTM had previously absorbed but is now passing on to consumers.
Industry observers suggest that these price changes are also occurring in anticipation of the upcoming launch of new 350cc versions from KTM. The 390 Adventure X is positioned as a more accessible, road-biased option, catering to riders who appreciate ADV styling without requiring extensive off-road capabilities.
