ISLAMABAD : Pakistani bikers face steeper costs as Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) implements nationwide price increases across its motorcycle range, effective July 1st. The hike directly results from the federal government’s newly imposed New Energy Vehicle (NEV) levy introduced in the 2025-26 budget.
Revised showroom pricing sees entry-level models absorbing significant jumps:
- GD110S now retails at Rs. 362,600
- GS150 increases to Rs. 392,900
- Mid-range GSX125 reaches Rs. 504,900
- GR150 climbs to Rs. 552,900
- Premium INAZUMA GW250JP tops the lineup at Rs. 1,252,400
PSMC confirmed to dealers that these figures include manufacturing costs and delivery charges to showrooms. The move follows rival Atlas Honda’s recent Rs. 2,000-6,000 per-unit increase, with Honda controlling over 50% of Pakistan’s motorcycle market.
The NEV Levy Impact
The Finance Act 2025’s NEV levy targets all petrol/diesel vehicles – from commuter bikes to luxury SUVs – aiming to incentivize electric and hybrid adoption. Industry analysts confirm this marks Pakistan’s first environmental tax directly impacting two-wheelers.
Notably exempt are:
✅ Fully electric/hybrid vehicles
✅ Export-only manufactured units
✅ Diplomatic and international organization vehicles
With Suzuki’s price revision sheets now active nationwide, commuters face tougher purchasing decisions amid record inflation. The policy intends to accelerate cleaner transport adoption, though immediate effects burden conventional vehicle buyers during an economic crunch.
