Benelli India has announced a price revision for the TNT 300 and Benelli 302R. As a result, the TNT 300 now costs Rs 2.99 lakh, while the 302R retails at Rs 3.10 lakh, a price cut of Rs 51,000 and Rs 60,000 respectively. Both the bikes are brought from China as CKD (completely knocked down) units and assembled in Telangana. The brand states that the price reduction is a result of reduced manufacturing costs and it has passed on the benefits to its customers. The TNT 300 now becomes the third most affordable twin-cylinder bike in India behind the Royal Enfield 650 twins and the Kawasaki Ninja 300. 

It’s quite possible that Benelli took to localisation after witnessing the success of the Kawasaki Ninja 300. The Japanese bike maker played it smart by localising most of its components, the result of which was a massive price drop. Currently, the Ninja 300 retails for Rs 2.98 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

The price revision is effective immediately, so customers can book either the TNT 300 or 302R via any Benelli showrooms present across the country. 

Here’s the official statement from the manufacturer.
