Yamaha Pakistan has officially revised its motorcycle prices effective July 1, 2025, citing the Federal Budget 2025–26’s new taxation measures and rising production costs.
The price hike is attributed to the imposition of the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Levy, a continued 18% General Sales Tax (GST), and the depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee against the dollar.
Impact of NEV Levy and GST
The Federal Budget 2025–26 introduced a 1% NEV Levy on the retail prices of all vehicles, including motorcycles, as part of the government’s strategy to encourage a shift towards electric mobility. Additionally, the 18% GST remains applicable. Combined, these taxes have significantly raised the overall cost of Yamaha’s two-wheeler lineup in Pakistan.
These fiscal changes have compelled Yamaha to pass on the additional burden to consumers. The new prices reflect not only the tax components but also increased production and import costs due to currency devaluation.
