The Bajaj Dominar 400 is India's most powerful production motorcycle below ₹2.5 lakh ex-showroom — a 373cc liquid-cooled engine producing 40 PS, USD front forks, dual-channel ABS, and a touring-biased ergonomic setup. It competes with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, KTM 390 Duke, and TVS Apache RR310 but offers significantly more power and touring comfort per rupee. The true cost of ownership includes an important insurance consideration: the 373cc engine places the Dominar in the >350cc IRDAI third-party insurance bracket, adding ₹7,190 over comparable 350cc bikes. This guide covers the complete on-road breakdown across 10 states and exact EMI calculations. Prices verified June 2026 (ex-showroom Delhi).

Bajaj Dominar 400 Variant Prices (2026)
The Dominar 400 is offered as a single variant. On-road Delhi figures use 10% road tax (above ₹2,00,000 slab), IRDAI-mandated 5-year TP insurance at the >350cc rate, 1-year OD insurance at ~1.5% of ex-showroom, and ₹3,000 registration.
| Variant | Ex-Showroom | On-Road (Delhi) | 3-Yr EMI (10.5%, 20% down) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ₹2,19,000 | ₹2,61,205 | ₹6,792 |
The Dominar's ex-showroom of ₹2,19,000 exceeds Delhi's ₹2 lakh threshold, triggering the 10% road tax slab — adding ₹21,900 to the registration cost. Buyers in states with an 8% flat rate (Rajasthan, West Bengal, UP) pay approximately ₹4,380 less in road tax than Delhi buyers. Use the car loan EMI calculator to compute your EMI based on your state's on-road price.
What Goes Into the On-Road Price
For the Standard at ₹2,19,000 ex-showroom (Delhi reference):
Under IRDAI regulations, all new two-wheelers require a mandatory 5-year third-party insurance at purchase and a 1-year own-damage policy.
| Component | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-Showroom Price | ₹2,19,000 | Manufacturer price |
| Road Tax (10%) | ₹21,900 | Delhi slab: above ₹2,00,000 |
| Own Damage (1yr, ~1.5%) | ₹3,285 | ~1.5% of ex-showroom (estimate) |
| Third Party (5yr mandatory) | ₹14,020 | IRDAI-fixed rate: >350cc |
| Registration + Smart Card | ₹3,000 | Flat RTO charge |
| TCS (Sec 206C(1F)) | Nil | Not applicable on two-wheelers |
| On-Road Price | ₹2,61,205 | Total |
The Dominar 400's 373cc engine places it in the >350cc IRDAI TP bracket at ₹14,020 for 5 years — significantly higher than the >150cc–350cc bracket at ₹6,830. This ₹7,190 insurance premium difference versus a 350cc bike (like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350) is a hidden cost that is easy to miss when comparing ex-showroom prices. Note: in Delhi, the above-₹2L slab also means a 10% road tax (versus 8% for bikes below ₹2L), adding another ₹4,380 compared to a ₹1,99,000 bike.
How State Road Tax Varies by State
The Dominar 400's ex-showroom (₹2,19,000) exceeds ₹2 lakh, placing it in the highest state tax slabs. Below are 2026 rates across 10 states:
| State | Road Tax Rate | Road Tax Amount | On-Road Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat | 4% (flat) | ₹8,760 | ₹2,48,065 |
| Rajasthan | 8% (>₹1L) | ₹17,520 | ₹2,56,825 |
| West Bengal | 8% (>₹1L) | ₹17,520 | ₹2,56,825 |
| Uttar Pradesh | 8% (flat) | ₹17,520 | ₹2,56,825 |
| Delhi | 10% (>₹2L) | ₹21,900 | ₹2,61,205 |
| Tamil Nadu | 10% (>₹1L) + ₹500 | ₹22,400 | ₹2,61,705 |
| Kerala | 11% (>₹1L) + ₹200 | ₹24,290 | ₹2,63,595 |
| Maharashtra | 11% (flat) | ₹24,090 | ₹2,63,395 |
| Telangana | 12% (flat) | ₹26,280 | ₹2,65,585 |
| Karnataka | 13% (>₹1L) + 11% cess | ₹31,602 | ₹2,70,907 |
Gujarat at 4% flat gives the lowest on-road price at ₹2,48,065 — ₹22,842 cheaper than Karnataka (₹2,70,907). Delhi's 10% slab puts it above Rajasthan, West Bengal, and UP despite having a similar or lower base rate on lower-priced bikes. Tamil Nadu's on-road price (₹2,61,705) is marginally higher than Delhi because the ₹500 flat safety tax pushes it above Delhi's pure 10% calculation.
Bajaj Dominar 400 EMI by Loan Tenure
Base scenario: Standard, 20% down payment (₹52,241), loan amount ₹2,08,964, at 10.5% p.a. Adjust using the car loan EMI calculator.
| Tenure | Monthly EMI | Total Interest | Total Amount Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Years (24 months) | ₹9,691 | ₹23,620 | ₹2,32,584 |
| 3 Years (36 months) | ₹6,792 | ₹35,548 | ₹2,44,512 |
| 5 Years (60 months) | ₹4,491 | ₹60,496 | ₹2,69,460 |
The 2-year tenure saves ₹36,876 in total interest compared to 5 years — equivalent to a substantial 17.6% of the loan amount. The ₹5,200/month premium for 2-year over 5-year tenure is significant, but for a touring bike purchase at this price point, buyers who can manage the higher short-term EMI benefit greatly from the interest saving.
Use the prepayment calculator to evaluate how a ₹30,000 lump-sum prepayment at the end of Year 1 affects remaining tenure and total interest.
Down Payment Impact
For the Standard (on-road ₹2,61,205), 3-year tenure at 10.5%:
| Down Payment | Down Amount | Loan Amount | Monthly EMI | Total Interest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | ₹26,121 | ₹2,35,084 | ₹7,641 | ₹39,992 |
| 20% | ₹52,241 | ₹2,08,964 | ₹6,792 | ₹35,548 |
| 30% | ₹78,362 | ₹1,82,843 | ₹5,943 | ₹31,105 |
Moving from 10% to 30% down payment reduces total interest by ₹8,887 and cuts the monthly EMI by ₹1,698. The ₹78,362 required for a 30% down payment would earn approximately ₹2,743/year in a savings account at 3.5% — the ₹8,887 interest saving by deploying it as a down payment is over 3× that amount.
Running & Ownership Costs
| Cost Item | Estimate | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel (50 km/day, 27 kmpl) | ₹2,800–₹3,500 | Monthly |
| Engine oil change (premium) | ₹700–₹1,100 | Every 3,000 km |
| Periodic service (Bajaj service) | ₹1,000–₹1,500 | Every 6 months |
| Tyre replacement | ₹4,000–₹6,500 | Every 2–3 years |
| Third-party insurance (Year 2+) | ₹1,400–₹1,800 | Annual (TP paid 5yr upfront; >350cc rate) |
| OD insurance renewal (Year 2+) | ₹3,000–₹4,500 | Annual |
| Chain lubrication/adjustment | ₹200–₹300 | Every 2,000 km |
The Dominar 400's liquid-cooled 373cc engine produces strong highway performance, but at a real-world mileage of 23–27 kmpl in mixed riding. Fuel costs are notably higher than 150–200cc bikes. The >350cc TP bracket also means ongoing annual TP renewal (after the 5-year upfront period) is more expensive than for bikes below 350cc. Total monthly running cost excluding EMI is approximately ₹3,500–₹4,500 for a rider covering 50 km/day.

This is a government-fixed cost, not dealer pricing.
