The biggest motorbike manufacturer in Pakistan, Atlas Honda, has increased prices for all of its models by Rs2,000 to Rs6,000 in response to a new tax on imported motorcycle engines that the federal government imposed in the 2025–2026 budget.
The increase, which will take effect on July 1, 2025, coincides with the government’s implementation of a 1% carbon levy on motorcycle engine imports, which the business has passed on to customers.
Waseem, an Atlas Honda authorized dealer in the Gulberg neighborhood of Lahore, verified the development in an interview with Samaa Digital. Indeed, beginning of July 1, the prices have been formally raised. “It is because of the new taxes that have affected the cost of production,” he stated.
Both entry-level and luxury models are impacted by the price increase; the Honda CD 70, the company’s best-selling motorcycle, would now cost Rs 2,000 more. The current sale price is Rs159,900. Additionally, the CD 70 Dream increased by Rs 2,000 to Rs 170,900.
The price of the Honda Pridor has increased by Rs3,000 to Rs211,900. The CG 125 Self-Start and CG 125s Gold have both increased by Rs4,000, to Rs286,900 and Rs296,900, respectively, while the popular CG 125 model has increased by Rs4,000 to Rs238,900.
Following a Rs6,000 hike, the CB 125F now retails for Rs396,900 in the higher-end segment. The CB 150F and its Special Edition variants now retail for Rs499,900 and Rs503,900, respectively, an increase of Rs6,000.
Prices for new Honda motorcycles as of July 1, 2025:
| Model | New Price (PKR) | Increase (PKR) |
| Honda CD 70 | 159,900 | 2,000 |
| CD 70 Dream | 170,900 | 2,000 |
| Honda Pridor | 211,900 | 3,000 |
| CG 125 | 238,900 | 4,000 |
| CG 125 Self-Start | 286,900 | 4,000 |
| CG 125s Gold | 296,900 | 4,000 |
| CB 125F | 396,900 | 6,000 |
| CB 150F | 499,900 | 6,000 |
| CB 150F Special Edition | 503,900 | 6,000 |
It is anticipated that the price change will impact affordability for a large portion of the population, particularly in light of ongoing inflation and growing fuel costs. For many Pakistanis, motorcycles continue to be their major form of transportation, especially for delivery workers and low-income households.
With over 50% of the local motorcycle market, Atlas Honda is essential to individual mobility. The most recent rise might make it harder to get reasonably priced two-wheelers, which would make daily commuters’ financial burdens even worse.
