TL;DR
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now features a 349cc engine to benefit from lower GST, reducing its price to Rs 1.80 lakh.
Bajaj Auto has strategically downsized the engine of its Pulsar NS400Z to a 349cc unit, a move aimed at leveraging a lower Goods and Services Tax (GST) slab. This reduction in engine displacement allows the motorcycle to qualify for an 18 percent GST rate, significantly lower than the 40 percent applied to bikes above 350cc. Consequently, this adjustment is expected to reduce the overall ownership cost for consumers while maintaining competitive performance.
The updated Pulsar NS400Z is now available at a revised price of Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing strategy, coupled with the tax benefits, positions the NS400Z more competitively in the Indian motorcycle market, appealing to a broader range of buyers looking for a powerful yet more economical ownership proposition.
