BMW Motorrad India To Hike Motorcycle Prices by Up To 6% From January 2026

BMW Motorrad India has announced that prices of its motorbikes will increase by up to 6% from January 1, 2026. However price hikes are never good for buyers, but BMW says this move is necessary to manage rising costs and keep its business sustainable in a challenging global environment.

BMW Motorrad is the motorcycle division of BMW Group, which is known worldwide for its high-performance, technology-rich and premium motorcycles. In India, BMW Motorrad offers everything from entry-level sport bikes to high-end adventure tourers, cruisers and electric two-wheelers.

According to BMW Motorrad India, the key reason behind the price hike is currency pressure. The Indian Rupee has weakened significantly against major global currencies like the US Dollar

and Euro over the past several months. This matters because many BMW motorcycles sold in India are imported, either fully or partially and are paid for in foreign currency.

Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO of BMW Group India, explained that rising forex pressure, along with increased costs of raw materials and logistics, has affected overall input costs. He added that the planned price revision will help ensure “necessary profitability and continued value generation” for both BMW and its dealer partners.

Actually, it costs BMW more money today to bring or build these motorcycles in India than it did earlier and the company is passing on part of that cost to buyers.

The price hike will apply across the BMW Motorrad range in India, covering both locally produced and imported models.

On the more affordable side, BMW offers the ‘Made in India’ BMW G 310 RR, which is a sporty motorcycle popular among young riders and the BMW CE 02, an electric urban mobility scooter with a futuristic design. Even though these models are manufactured locally, they still use imported components, which are impacted by currency changes.

At the premium end, BMW Motorrad’s lineup includes several CBU (Completely Built Unit) models that are imported directly into India. These include adventure bikes like the BMW F 900 GS, BMW R 1300 GS and R 1300 GSA, superbikes such as the BMW S 1000 RR and BMW M 1000 RR, luxury cruisers like the BMW R 18 Transcontinental, and touring machines including the BMW K 1600 GTL and K 1600 GA. Electric models such as the BMW CE 04 are also part of this portfolio.

For buyers considering a BMW motorcycle, the announcement clearly states that they should book before January 1, to avoid higher prices or be prepared to pay more in the new year.
