Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Price Slashed by up to Rs 24,500 Lakh in India

Bajaj Auto has made the Pulsar NS400Z more affordable, and this update puts more focus on value without taking away what makes the bike exciting. You still get nearly 40bhp performance, quickshifter, ride modes, traction control, and sharp streetfighter styling, but now at a lower price. With the new 349cc engine, the NS400Z now falls under India’s sub-350cc tax slab, attracting 18 per cent GST. This shift has helped Bajaj cut costs, making the NS400Z a stronger pick for riders who want performance and features without crossing into a higher price bracket.

The biggest update is the lower sticker price. The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now costs Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), down from Rs 1.94 lakh. That is a direct price drop of nearly Rs 14,000. Bajaj says lower insurance and registration charges can push total savings up to Rs 24,500. This makes the NS400Z one of the most affordable motorcycles in India’s 40bhp segment right now.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z: The 350cc Engine

To bring the bike under GST 2.0 rules, Bajaj reduced displacement from 373cc to 349.13cc. It did this by shortening the stroke from 60mm to 56.1mm, while keeping the bore unchanged at 89mm. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine still shares its base with the Dominar 400. Bajaj has also kept the six-speed gearbox, so the overall riding character should remain familiar.

The new 349cc engine makes 40bhp and 33.2Nm, compared to the older bike’s 42.4bhp and 35Nm. Yes, there is a small drop, but on paper, the NS400Z still has enough performance for fast road riding. Peak power comes at 9,000rpm, while peak torque arrives at 7,500rpm. Ride-by-wire continues, so throttle response and riding mode behaviour remain unchanged.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z: Features

Bajaj has not changed the NS400Z’s hardware or feature list. The bike still comes with four riding modes, a quickshifter, traction control, dual-channel ABS, radial tyres, and a Bluetooth-enabled digital console. Riders also continue to get turn-by-turn navigation, which adds daily usability. In simple terms, the bike keeps the same package, just at a lower price.

Bajaj has retained the NS400Z badge despite the smaller engine because the name already has market recall. The bike still delivers the same core experience, but now with a lower entry price. For enthusiasts looking at performance per rupee, this update makes the NS400Z even harder to ignore.
