With the new GST 2.0 regulations in effect from September 22, 2025, Piaggio India – the parent company behind Vespa and Aprilia, has announced a price cut for their scooters. These models have engine capacity less than 350cc, and now attract 18% GST, which was 28% in the previous tax regime. Here’s an overview:

Vespa

Vespa scooters are known to look retro and pretty fashionable with some really beautiful colour schemes. The scooters also get special ‘Qala’ variants with exclusive liveries that make them stand out.

As these scooters come with 125cc and 150cc engines, they are categorised in the lower GST slab, and you can now save up to Rs 18,073 on the purchase. If you are planning to buy a Vespa, check out the old vs new prices of the scooters here:

Aprilia

While Vespa focuses on retro looks, Aprilia prioritises performance. These scooters are peppy and also look pretty sleek – perfect ingredients for a sporty scooter. With the GST 2.0, these scooters have become more affordable by up to Rs 10,478. Check out the old vs new prices here:

BikeDekho Says

With the GST price cuts, the costliest Vespa variant (Vespa S Tech 150) is now priced under Rs 2 Lakh for the first time since its launch in February 2025. Despite this, Vespa scooters are still a bit expensive – but that’s the price you pay for authentic Italian retro scooter looks.

Even though the cheapest Aprilia scooter (Aprilia SR125) has become more affordable, it still doesn’t offer as good value for money as its rival, the TVS Ntorq 125. In fact, the Ntorq 125 top variant costs under Rs 1 lakh post GST 2.0-cut. On the other hand, the SR175 is a pretty decent performance scooter for those who want a no-nonsense peppy scooter. It is slightly cheaper than the TVS Ntorq 150 while offering equal levels of performance on paper. That said, it is not as feature-packed as the Ntorq 150, nor does it look as cool as the Ntorq.
