New Delhi, December 29: From next year, car and bike prices will increase in India. So, if you are planning to buy a new car or two-wheeler, booking before the end of 2025 could help you save money. Several manufacturers have confirmed annual price revisions effective January 1, 2026, citing higher input costs, logistics expenses and currency fluctuations. These hikes come after buyers benefited from GST-linked price reductions earlier this year.
While the upcoming increases are largely modest, they mark the usual New Year price correction across the auto industry. Importantly, for many models, prices will still remain lower than pre-GST levels even after the hike. 2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 Price, Specifications and Features; Everything To Know About the Newly Launched Adventure-Tourer Motorcycle.
