Before the latest price hike, the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 retailed at INR 1,74,125*. The government has proposed to increase the registration fee to INR 1,000 as against the current INR 50 for two-wheelers. The on-road price is likely to go even higher if the road transport ministry implements the new registration fee.
Bajaj Auto has updated its website with the new price. It is yet to introduce the new Glossy Red colour option, which was reported earlier this month to happen very soon. Currently, the 2019 Dominar 400 is available in two colour options – Aurora Green and Vine Black.
The Bajaj Dominar 400 registered a 60% increase in year-on-year sales for June. Check out the six-month sales performance of the Bajaj Dominar 400 below:
