सीबीयू बाइक्स की कीमत में जल्द होगी भारी कटौती: भारत में सुपरबाइक्स की कीमत में इंपोर्ट ड्यूटी की अहम भूमिका होती है. सामान्यतया, इन्हें सीकेडी में वर्गीकृत किया गया है (पूरी तरह से खटखटाया) और सीबीयू (पूरी तरह से निर्मित) इकाइयों. पूर्व शब्द का उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब कोई स्थानीय असेंबली पर विचार करता है जबकि बाद वाला सड़क तैयार आयात के लिए उपयोग किया जाता है.
भारत में सीबीयू की कीमत अब पहले से कम होगी क्योंकि सरकार ने फ्लैट पेश किया है 50% सीबीयू मार्ग के माध्यम से लाई गई प्रत्येक मोटरसाइकिल के लिए स्लैब. पहले, ये था 60% 800cc से कम की बाइक के लिए और 75% 800cc से ऊपर वालों के लिए. एक विशाल 25% of reduction in bikes above 800cc will definitely bring positive effects on liter class sport bike sales.
High end bikes like Yamaha R1, Harley Davidson CVO Limited, Indian Roadmaster and many more will get a considerably high price reduction. Few brands completely rely on CBU route for motorcycle sales and they will get the most benefits out of this decision.
Brands will soon revise their price lists to get the best out of these changes. CKD route with a motorcycle having unmounted engine and gearbox will also attract lower 25% tax slab in place of earlier charged 30%. The import of just engine and transmission components will cost them more with 15% of import tax.
This clearly means that government wants manufacturers to develop and manufacture engines here in India only. If they can localize most of the components, engine import will cost them more than before while manufacturers going for either CKD or CBU route will benefit from reduced taxes.
For example, Yamaha R1 is a CBU product and will get a reduction of 25% in its import duty. On the other hand, Ninja 1000 is a CKD product and could get a price hike if just engine for the same is imported. If every other part is also imported and assembled here, it will get a 5% reduction in tax.
Industry’s demand for reduction of taxes for high end products is finally fulfilled. It seems like India will get the highest ever superbike sales this year.
