Takeaways: –
- The two-wheelers are considered as an affordable & convenient means of transportation, but with the gradual price increment, their affordability factor fluttering away. As per TVS announcements, the price hike is due to the rising commodity costs of steel, aluminum, plastics, and other materials.
- The price hike ranges between Rs 620 to Rs 3,000.
- India's most affordable scooter, the Scooty Pep has received a marginal hike of Rs 620, whereas TVS's flagship Apache RR 310 motorcycle is the most affected by the price hike decision. However, it's the first time when the brand has increased its prices since the launch of its BS6 iteration.
- TVS Jupiter, the brand's best-selling scooter has become dearer by up to Rs 2,770. However, to maintain its dominance in the 110cc segment, TVS has introduced a new base variant designated as ‘Sheet Metal Wheel’, which obviously misses out on the alloy wheels.
