Royal Enfield Pitches for 18% GST on All Motorcycles to Boost Exports

Imagine you want to buy a toy motorcycle.

Right now, the government has different prices (taxes) for smaller toy bikes and bigger ones.

Royal Enfield, a company that makes real motorcycles, is asking the government to make the price (tax) the same for all motorcycles, like 18%.

They believe this will make more people buy bigger bikes, help them build more bikes in India, and sell them to other countries.

Right now, the taxes are lower for bikes up to 350cc, but much higher for bikes above 350cc, which makes them harder to sell.

Royal Enfield had a really good sales period recently and wants to keep growing by making their bigger bikes more affordable through a new tax plan.

They feel this change will help India become a leader in making and selling these bigger motorcycles worldwide.
