The maximum price hike is around Rs 2,350

  • This is the second price hike in just two months.
  • The BS6 CT100 is now nearly Rs 9,400 more expensive than its BS4 predecessor.
  • Both the CT and Platina range feature an e-carb instead of fuel-injection.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide lockdown, pushing global economies into a downward spiral. In other words, recession. In the past couple of weeks, the Indian government has started lifting certain restrictions, allowing two-wheeler manufacturers to gradually restart operations. However, since then we've witnessed numerous price hikes across the two-wheeler segment. And the surge in prices seems to continue with Bajaj slapping a premium of up to Rs 2,350 on the CT100, CT110 KS Alloy, Platina 100 KS Alloy and the Platina 110 H-Gear. Here’s what the new prices look like:

    Model

    Old Price

    New Price

    Increase

    CT100

    Rs 41,293 - Rs 48,973

    Rs 42,790 - Rs 50,470

    Rs 1,497

    CT110 KS Alloy

    Rs 46,912

    Rs 48,410

    Rs 1,498

    Platina 100 KS Alloy

    Rs 47,763

    Rs 49,261

    Rs 1,498

    Platina 110 H-Gear

    Rs 60,550

    Rs 62,899

    Rs 2,349

    The inflation in costs has made the CT100 nearly Rs 9,400 more expensive than its BS4 predecessor. The cost of the bike pricks, even more, when you take into account that Bajaj’s entry-level commuter lineup features an e-carb, which is less expensive than fuel-injection seen on almost all other commuters in India. Take the Hero HF Deluxe for example, which features fuel-injection and is only Rs 8,000 more expensive than the outgoing BS4 model.
