The relentless depreciation of the local currency has unleashed another wave of price hikes that are pummeling the general public.
Atlas Honda has now joined this saga, raising the prices of its bikes by up to Rs. 15,000. This is Honda’s fifth price hike this year.
Effective as of May 1, the new prices are as follows:
| Model | Old Prices (Rs.) | New Prices (Rs.) | Increase (Rs.) |
| CD 70 | 149,900 | 154,900 | 5,000 |
| CD 70 Dream | 160,900 | 165,900 | 5,000 |
| Pridor | 197,900 | 203,900 | 6,000 |
| CG 125 | 222,900 | 229,900 | 7,000 |
| CG 125 Special Edition | 265,900 | 275,900 | 10,000 |
| CB 125 F | 365,900 | 380,900 | 15,000 |
| CB 150 F | 458,900 | 473,900 | 15,000 |
| CB 150 F SE | 462,900 | 477,900 | 15,000 |
Due to price hikes and production cuts, bike sales have sustained a major hit. In recent days, the dollar rate has surged, leading to a new wave of price hikes throughout the automotive sector.
Although the market remains eerily quiet at present, it is probable that other bike manufacturers will soon follow in Honda’s footsteps. As a result, bike sales are poised to decline further, along with industrywide revenues.

I booked 10 of these today
On 10 Jan 2021, I bought Pridor at 110k when the USD rate was 160. Now, the dollar appreciated 78.1% while the raise in price is 85.5%. Its a locally manufactured product and costs couldn’t be more than 50% yet the hikes are above the devaluation rate. These companies are finding opportunities to increase margins in such times of desperation. No wonder their profit ratios are increasing yearly yet the economy is going down. They don’t want to spend a nickel on R&D, innovation, and efficiency because we are a cash cow market and we don’t boycott or complain. In fact, we do complain but individually and not as a group. Power of group can move mountains.
I believe we need a very efficient petition platform with millions of members active enough to enforce a boycott if there is price gouging and monopolistic practices. It can even become powerful enough to raise a voice against bad political decisions. I am working on an idea. Do you think it will work?
dont worry about if itll work or not. an idea can also move mountains. the thing is a large percentage of ppl who buy bikes are not educated so they probably wont ever hear about it. if we are willing to buy crap suzuki cars for 30 mn, bikes dont seem that expensive in comparison. logo ke majburi h they need something whether cheap or expensive and thats what they are exploiting. imho yamaha is the only manf that still offers some quality. thats another thing they are also priced more than double than what they deserve
