For the third time in 2023, the biggest player in the two-wheeler segment in Pakistan — Atlas Honda — once again notified an increase in the price of its motorcycles.
With the recent increase, the bikes have been made costlier by Rs7,000-25,000.
The company has been raising prices due to the constant fluctuations of the Pakistani rupee against all major currencies, especially the US dollar, coupled with a rise in the cost of manufacturing.
The new rates came into effect on March 3.
Following are the new retail selling price (ex-factory):
