Why this shift is showing up across brands

The introduction of 350cc variants follows similar changes within the Bajaj Auto's ecosystem, which manufactures KTM motorcycles in India. Triumph Motorcycles, which partners with Bajaj for its India-made motorcycles, has also introduced 350cc versions of its sub-400cc range. Bajaj has made a comparable update with the Bajaj Dominar 400.

This switch is driven by India’s new GST structure, where motorcycles below 350cc attract 18 percent GST, compared to 28 percent for higher-displacement models. As a result, manufacturers within the Bajaj Auto Ltd. ecosystem, including KTM and Triumph Motorcycles, have introduced 350cc versions to align with the lower tax bracket.
