KTM has recently announced a price hike in the range of Rs 1,000 to Rs 12,000 for select bikes in their portfolio. The decision falls in line with the industry trends where the operational costs are rising. Other international brands, including BMW and Ducati, are also increasing their prices in 2025.
KTM 390 Duke – Rs 1,000 Price Hike
The new 390 Duke is charged with a nominal price hike of Rs 1,000. The new price is Rs 2.96 Lakh (ex-showroom). Earlier this year, KTM slashed the price of the 390 Duke by Rs 18,000, which effectively brought down the price of the bike from Rs 3.13 Lakh to Rs 2.95 Lakh (ex-showroom).
This made the bike more accessible and helped minimise the psychological barrier for the Rs 3 Lakh Price tag. Furthermore, KTM retained this price even after adding cruise control feature as standard in the 390 Duke in March alongside a new Ebony Black paintjob.
The KTM 390 Duke is powered by a 399 cc LC4c single-cylinder fuel-injected engine that delivers 46 PS/ 39 NM.
