New GST Rates on Tyres Across Categories Effective September 22, 2025

Effective September 22, 2025, GST rates on tyres in India have been rationalised: most new pneumatic tyres move to 18%, tractor tyres and tubes drop to 5%, and bicycle tyres align at 5%, while retreaded tyres and retreading services remain at 18%. These changes stem from the broader GST 2.0 shift, emphasising 5% and 18% slabs.

New GST Rates on Tyres, Including 2 Wheelers, Buses and Trucks 

New pneumatic tyres for cars, 2 wheelers, buses and trucks are at 18% after a cut from 28%, covering mainstream HSN 4011 sub headings.

Tractor tyres and tractor tubes are at 5% after a reduction from 18%, with agriculture-focused lines explicitly noted for relief.

Bicycle and Special Categories

Bicycle tyres stand at 5% under the updated alignment for non-motorised segments, retaining a lower slab for affordability.

Aircraft tyres are commonly listed at 18%, consistent with prior treatment in HSN 4011.90 groupings.

The 56th GST Council changes shifted earlier 28% lines to 18% and aligned certain 12% agricultural and bicycle lines to 5% from September 22, 2025.

Conclusion

The updated GST structure standardises most new pneumatic tyres at 18%, provides targeted relief at 5% for tractor and bicycle categories, and retains 18% for retreaded tyres, improving clarity for billing and compliance from September 22, 2025.
