Bajaj Dominar drops to 349cc for lower GST bracket, priced at ₹2.04 lakh in Delhi

A decade after launch, the Bajaj Dominar 400 now runs a 349cc engine slotting into the sub-400cc GST tier, priced at ₹2.04 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. It offers strong value and touring capability with 40 bhp and a 146 kph top speed, but feels dated against Royal Enfield rivals.

A decade-old Bajaj Dominar 400 now runs a 349cc engine slotting into a lower sub-400cc GST bracket. Priced at ₹2.04 lakh ex-showroom Delhi, it delivers value and touring capability but feels dated versus Royal Enfield rivals.

Why this matters

Bajaj is repeating a GST-driven downsizing playbook: after cutting the Pulsar NS400Z below the 350cc threshold at ₹1.82 lakh, it now trims the Dominar to 349cc to capture the lower tax bracket.
