KARACHI – Atlas Honda, Pakistan’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, has increased prices across its entire range by Rs2,000 to Rs6,000, citing the newly imposed Carbon Levy on imported motorcycle engines introduced in the federal budget for FY2025–26.
The revised pricing took effect from July 1, 2025, after the government levied a 1% Carbon Levy on imported motorcycle engines, prompting a direct cost transfer to consumers by the company.
Speaking to Samaa Digital, Waseem, an authorised Atlas Honda dealer in Lahore’s Gulberg, confirmed the hike. “Yes, the prices have been officially increased from July 1. It’s due to the new taxes that have impacted production costs,” he stated.
The price hike affects both entry-level and high-end models, with the company’s most popular commuter bike, the Honda CD 70, now priced at Rs159,900 after a Rs2,000 increase. The CD 70 Dream has also gone up by Rs2,000 to Rs170,900.
Mid-range models such as the Honda Pridor have risen by Rs3,000, now retailing at Rs211,900. The iconic CG 125 saw a Rs4,000 increase, pushing its price to Rs238,900, while the CG 125 Self-Start and CG 125s Gold versions are now priced at Rs286,900 and Rs296,900, respectively.
In the premium segment, the CB 125F now costs Rs396,900 after a Rs6,000 hike. Both the CB 150F and its Special Edition variant have become Rs6,000 more expensive, priced at Rs499,900 and Rs503,900, respectively.

The price revision is expected to impact affordability for many Pakistanis, particularly low- and middle-income households and delivery workers who rely on motorcycles as a primary mode of transportation. The increase also adds pressure amid persistently high inflation and fuel prices, further straining household budgets.
