TVS Motor Company has implemented a price increase for its popular TVS Radeon 110 cc commuter motorcycle, joining a growing trend among Indian two-wheeler and passenger vehicle manufacturers. This adjustment reflects broader industry challenges, including escalating input costs driven by rising prices of critical raw materials, persistent inflation, and volatile foreign exchange rates.
Minimal Increase Across All Variants
Interestingly, despite the price hike, the TVS Radeon has seen only a modest rise in its pricing structure. The company has raised the motorcycle's price by a mere ₹300 uniformly across all available variants. This strategic move aims to balance cost pressures with market competitiveness.
Updated Price Range
Following this adjustment, the TVS Radeon now carries an ex-showroom price tag ranging from ₹55,400 to ₹78,200, depending on the specific variant. Previously, the motorcycle was priced between ₹55,100 and ₹77,900 (ex-showroom). The base variant, known as the All Black Edition, now costs ₹55,400, up from ₹55,100, while the top-end Digi-Disc variant is priced at ₹78,200, increased from ₹77,900.
Detailed Price Comparison
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the old versus new prices for the TVS Radeon:
- All Black Edition: Old price ₹55,100, New price ₹55,400, Difference ₹300
- Base Edition: Old price ₹61,600, New price ₹61,900, Difference ₹300
- Digi Drum: Old price ₹74,200, New price ₹74,500, Difference ₹300

Industry Context and Sales Outlook
This price hike occurs against a backdrop of similar announcements from other manufacturers in the Indian automotive sector, all grappling with increased operational expenses. TVS Motor Company anticipates that the minimal ₹300 increase will have a negligible impact on consumer purchasing decisions, thereby safeguarding the sales performance of the TVS Radeon. The company's confidence stems from the belief that such a small increment is unlikely to deter potential buyers in the competitive commuter motorcycle segment.
The uniform price adjustment across variants underscores a calculated approach to managing costs without significantly altering the motorcycle's value proposition. As the industry navigates economic headwinds, this move highlights TVS's strategy to maintain affordability while addressing financial pressures.
