As new bikes keep getting launched and the prices of commodities and general inflation go up, there are smaller and smaller bikes available at any specific price point compared to a few years ago.
Here is the list of the top 5 bikes under Rs 1.50 lakh, on-road in India. Until a few years ago, one could even get 200-cc bikes for this price point. But the inflation in the economy is quite high. At the beginning of each year, the prices of automobiles go up due to the rise in input costs of raw materials. Additionally, there are multiple price hikes over the year. Hence, we only get 150- or 160-cc segment bikes at this price point today. Let us take a look at the details of this post here.
