Latest News & Tax / Offer Updates
-
Kawasaki India recently announced revised pricing under the new GST 2.0 regime. For bikes above 350 cc, the prices have increased rather than decreased.
-
That means the Ninja 1100SX, being in the >350 cc segment, is likely to see an upward adjustment rather than a discount from GST reforms.
-
Nevertheless, Kawasaki has offered some special discounts to move inventory. According to BikeWale, the Ninja 1100SX is being offered with a ₹1,00,000 discount for a limited time.

In terms of festive / Diwali 2025 offers, there is no confirmed nationwide scheme yet but dealerships may bundle accessory packages, exchange bonuses or cash discounts to attract buyers—especially since premium bikes are facing headwinds with taxation. (Forecasted based on market trends)
