Top 5 125cc Scooters In India Under Rs 1 Lakh: Activa 125, Access 125, Ntorq 125 And More

Scooters have come a long way from being simple, no-frills commuters. Today’s 125cc models bring style, modern features, and a dash of performance while still delivering the everyday practicality Indian riders need. And there’s even better news on the horizon. Following the recent GST Council’s decision to reduce tax on petrol-powered two-wheelers below 350cc from 28 percent to 18 percent, all bikes and scooters sold in India will receive a price reduction.
