Sales Champion: Classic 350 Leads the Pack-
The Classic 350's popularity shows no signs of fading, outselling rivals and siblings month after month. In July 2025, it registered a robust 26,516 units sold, topping Royal Enfield's charts ahead of the Bullet 350 (16,489 units) and Meteor 350 (7,644 units). April figures were equally impressive at 26,801 units, though a slight 9% month-on-month dip from March's 33,115 units reflects seasonal fluctuations. Year-over-year, the model has grown nearly 30%, accounting for a significant chunk of the brand's 87% sub-350cc sales dominance.
GST 2.0 Boost: Up to ₹15,000 Cheaper from September 22-
In a windfall for buyers, the Indian government's GST 2.0 revisions—slashing the tax rate on sub-350cc bikes from 28% to 18%—have prompted Royal Enfield to pass on the full benefit. Effective September 22, the Classic 350's prices will drop by approximately 7-10%, or up to ₹15,000 depending on the variant. This makes the base Redditch model even more accessible at around ₹1.82 lakh (estimated on-road in Delhi), while pricier trims like Chrome follow suit.
The move is expected to spur demand for high-volume models like the Classic, Hunter 350, and Bullet 350, countering the 40% GST hike on larger engines that affects premium offerings like the Himalayan 450.BULLMER Trendy Clothing Set with Shirt & Pants Co-ords for Men
