Atlas Honda Limited, the country’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, has announced a price increase across its entire lineup, with hikes ranging from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 6,000 per unit, effective July 1, 2025. The move comes in response to the federal government’s introduction of a 1% Carbon Levy on imported motorcycle engines in the FY25-26 budget.

Industry sources and dealers confirmed the price adjustment on Monday, attributing the increase directly to the new tax. Muhammad Sabir Shaikh, Chairman of the Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA), stated that the levy has left manufacturers with little choice but to revise prices upward.

The company’s best-selling model, the CD-70, now costs Rs. 159,900, up by Rs. 2,000. The CD-70 Dream has also seen a Rs. 2,000 increase, bringing its price to Rs. 170,900. The Pridor model is now priced at Rs. 211,900 after a Rs. 3,000 hike.

Mid-range models have also been affected, with the CG-125 rising by Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 238,900. The self-start and Gold variants of the CG-125 are now priced at Rs. 286,900 and Rs. 296,900, respectively, each reflecting a Rs. 4,000 increase.

High-end models have seen the steepest hikes. The CB-125F is now priced at Rs. 396,900 after a Rs. 6,000 jump, while the CB-150F has reached Rs. 499,900. The CB-150F Special now costs Rs. 503,900.

With Atlas Honda commanding over half of Pakistan’s motorcycle market, the latest price hike is expected to add further strain on consumers already grappling with inflation and shrinking purchasing power.
