BMW Motorrad India, the premium motorcycle arm of the German luxury brand, has announced a price increase across its entire lineup starting January 2026. The hike, ranging from 2% to 3.5% depending on the model, reflects rising input costs, supply chain pressures, and currency fluctuations amid India's dynamic automotive market. While exact revised figures remain pending, this move affects everything from entry-level G 310 series to flagship adventure tourers like the R 1300 GS.
The announcement comes as BMW Motorrad continues to expand its presence in India, balancing premium performance with growing localisation efforts.
