Bridgestone India Reduces Tyre Prices Surpassing The New GST 2.0 Tax Regime

The automotive industry is shifting towards a new transition of revised prices after the implementation of the new GST tax reforms in India. From cars, bikes, scooters, and commercial vehicles, every segment is surpassing the benefits of the GST 2.0 price rate cuts. Based on this, many automotive accessories have also decided to follow suit. Similarly, Bridgestone India has also announced the reduction in tyre prices.

Bridgestone, a tyre manufacturer, has announced a significant reduction in tyre prices with effect from September 22, 2025. This reduction in prices occurs due to the introduction of the new GST 2.0 tax reform. According to the report, the reduction in prices will cover every portfolio, including both commercial and passenger vehicle categories.

GST Rate Cut and Bridgestone’s Initiative

The Government of India has announced the new GST tax reform at the 56th GST Council meeting. All two-wheelers below or up to 350 cc engine capacities will be taxed at the 18% tax slab, and those beyond 350 cc will be taxed at the 40% slab without additional Cess. Similarly, the petrol cars with a 1200 cc engine configuration and under 4 meters in dimension will be taxed at 18%. Diesel cars with 1500 cc engine capacities will also be taxed at the 18% tax slab.

Beyond this configuration, both diesel and petrol cars will be placed under a 40% tax slab.
​Bridgestone India is proactively passing on these tax reductions directly to consumers. This new regime eases the overall tax burden on tyres, enabling the brand to lower prices across its offerings. The brand is poised to reduce the prices of the tyres depending on the premium, standard, and specialty options available in the market.

From The Director’s Desk

Speaking about the new GST 2.0 tax reforms, Mr. Rajarshi Moitra, Deputy Managing Director of Bridgestone India, said, “This decision by the government of India reflects a forward-looking approach to strengthening the automotive ecosystem, and we thank the Honourable Prime Minister for the same. The organization is proud to pass on the benefit of the GST reduction to our customers, supporting not just affordability but also encouraging sustainable and safer mobility practices.”

Supporting Sustainable Mobility and Consumer Trust

Bridgestone’s move is not just about price cuts but also about enhancing accessibility without compromising quality. The company continues to invest in advanced mobility solutions. As CEAT has also announced that it will reduce the prices of its tyres. Passing GST benefits directly to the market reinforces Bridgestone’s reputation for transparency and bolsters its strong customer relationships built over nearly three decades in India.

This strategic pricing aligns with Bridgestone’s broader goals of maintaining market leadership. It’s a significant move expected to influence industry trends and set a benchmark within India’s tyre sector.
