There is good news for those who buy cars and bikes in India. On Independence Day, PM Modi announced the new GST Reforms 2025 and now preparations are being made to implement it by Diwali. The government aims to make the tax system easier and give relief to common customers. The most will be benefited by those who want to buy small cars and entry-level bikes.

Will tax decrease on small cars?

• So far, small cars have 28% GST and 1-3% Cess. It contains cars of up to 1.2 liter engines and less than 4 meters in length. This is the reason why cars like Alto K10, WagonR, Swift, Baleno, Dzire, Tata Tiago, Tigor, Punch, Hyundai i10, i20 and Exter become expensive. After the new reform, they can be brought into 18% tax slab. That is, all these cars will become very cheap in the coming time.

Mid-size and big cars are also affected

• Mid-size cars and SUVs, which have an engine up to 1.5 liters, currently cost about 43% due to 28% GST and 15% Cess. According to reports, they can also be brought to the new 40% slab. If this happens, popular SUVs like Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Seltos, Sonet and Hyundai Creta will also get relief in prices of up to 3%.

Motorcycle buyers also benefit

• Please tell that this reform will bring relief not only for the car, but also for the bike buyers. Currently, 28% GST is taken on bikes up to 350cc, which is planned to reduce to 18%. After this change, entry-level and computer bikes like Hero Splendor, Honda Shine, Bajaj Pulsar and TVS Raider will become cheaper. At the same time, premium bikes with engine more than 350cc will be more tax on Royal Enfield 650cc, KTM and Harley Davidson.

Why is this change important?

• The number of two-wheeler buyers in India is more than cars and most of them buy entry-level bikes. In such a situation, if the government reduces tax on bikes and small cars up to 350cc, then it will directly benefit the customers and will also speed up the automobile market.

ABS Rule for two wheelers: The Government of India has taken a big step for two-wheeler security. Till now the ABS (anti-lock braking system) was mandatory for larger bikes than just 125cc, but now this rule will apply to all engine size bikes. That is, now it will be necessary to give ABS in bikes with small engines like Hero Splendor, Bajaj Platina and TVS Sport.

The ABS is an important safety feature that prevents the bike’s tire from being locked in case of sudden braking. It monitors the speed of wheels during braking and helps the rider to maintain balance by controlling the brake pressure when needed. This does not slip the bike and reduces the risk of accident.

There are two types of ABS

Actually, ABS is of two types- the first Single Channel ABS that only affects the front tires, and the second Dual Channel ABS that works on tires both forward and back. Therefore it is considered more secure.

What was the rule yet?

At present, ABS is not mandatory in bikes with 125cc engine in the country, due to which more than 45% of two-wheelers are deprived of this security feature. Since commutary bikes with small engine in India are sold the best, this rule will prove beneficial for millions of riders for safety.

Big decision on helmet also

Apart from this, the government is preparing to bring another important rule. Soon, it will be made mandatory to give two BIS-certified helmets with each two-wheeler. 44% of the deaths in road accidents are of two -wheelers and most of these deaths are caused by severe head injury. If helmet is given while purchasing a bike, then awareness will increase and life can be saved. With this new change, every section driving two -wheelers will get the benefit of safety. Whether it is a budget bike or every rider will get better security with a premium scooter, ABS and helmet.

Ducati scrambler 1100 discontinued: Due to new emission norms in the Indian market, the journey of some bikes is ending. Now the name of Ducati Scramble 1100 has also been added to this list. The company has removed it from its official website.

It is believed that the reason for this is the old engine and strict Euro 5+ emission norms. Ducati launched the Scrambler 1100 in 2018, which came a year after the Scrambler 800. After being in sales for about 8 years, the company has now closed it.

Why Scrambler 1100 closed from India?

There were many important reasons behind the closure of Ducati Scrambler 1100 in India. The first reason is that the 1079cc L-Twin engine used in it was no longer in line with Euro 5+ or OBD-2B emission standards. The engine was originally designed for Hypermotard and Monster 1100 in 2009 and later retaliated to Scrambler.

Engine update expensive deal

The second big reason is that upgrading this old engine according to new emission standards would have been a very expensive deal. Because this requires a large scale technical changes and investment, which was not commercially beneficial for this already low -selling model.

Expensive price

The third reason is its high price. The ex-showroom price of Ducati Scrambler 1100 was between 13.40 lakh to 16 lakh rupees, which used to make it a Nish Market Product. In this price, many such options were available to customers which were equipped with more powerful and modern features.

Technical features of Ducati Scrambler 1100

Technically, Scrambler 1100 had a 1079cc oil-cooled L-Twin engine, 86hp power and 88Nm torque, which came with a 6-speed slipper clutch gearbox. Modern features like ride-by-wire technology, riding modes and safety assist systems were also given in it. However, this bike was known as a lifestyle scrambler in its segment and had a separate class attraction about its design and performance, but high price and limited appeal impacted its sales.

Effect on sales and market reaction

Talking about sales, Ducati launched Scrambler 1100 in India in 2018, but till 2023-24 its demand was reduced to very low. Conversely, the scrambler 800 series was liking more customers because she was more economical and also supported new emission standards. This is the reason that Scrambler 800 is still available in Ducati’s Indian portfolio.

Will Scrambler 1100 return to the future?

Talking about the future, Ducati has not yet introduced any new engine or updated model for Scrambler 1100 which can live up to Euro 5+ standards. However, given the company’s activeness and technological innovation in the company’s global markets, it can be expected that in the coming time a new model should be brought instead of Scrambler 1100. The possibility is also being expressed that Ducati can now limit its scrambler lineup to 803cc engine and will focus on lightweight, modern versions in the future.
