Overview

• Bajaj confirmed ex-showroom prices for the Pulsar NS400Z and Dominar 400 will remain at roughly Rs 1.93 lakh and Rs 2.39 lakh, respectively.
• India’s revised GST sets an 18% rate for motorcycles up to 350cc and a 40% rate for those above 350cc, which covers both models.
• Bajaj framed the move as a customer-first step to avoid burdening riders with higher ownership costs, citing value and accessibility.
• No duration has been announced for the price hold, with reports indicating it may run through the festive season.
• Industry peers producing India-made midweight bikes, including KTM, Triumph, Aprilia and BSA, have also chosen to absorb the higher tax, with estimates of the avoided hike ranging from about Rs 13,000 to over Rs 22,000 depending on the model.
