Pune-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major Bajaj Auto has announced a price reduction for the Dominar 400, making the motorcycle more accessible at INR 203,214 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The updated model is equipped with a 350cc engine and is priced approximately INR 37,000 lower than the previous iteration. This adjustment results from a lower upfront cost and the passing of GST benefits to customers without altering the vehicle's touring capabilities.

The motorcycle is designed to function as an all-rounder, suitable for both daily commuting and long-distance travel.

By repositioning the Dominar 400, Bajaj Auto aims to increase the adoption of sports and touring motorcycling in India. The mechanical specifications are intended to maintain the power and endurance associated with the Dominar nameplate while lowering the total cost of ownership for enthusiasts.

This strategic shift follows the company's objective of democratising the touring segment. The new price point is expected to attract riders transitioning from lower-capacity segments who require a vehicle capable of sustained high-speed travel and comfort over distance.

Sarang Kanade, President - MCBU, Bajaj Auto, said, "Dominar has always stood for our touring DNA - powerful, capable, and built for the long road. With the new Dominar 400 with 350cc engine we are staying true to that promise while making it significantly more accessible. Riders get the same Dominar experience they love, but now with a much lower cost of ownership, including meaningful savings. This is a decisive step towards democratizing touring and sports motorcycling in India."
