• The prices of the Bajaj Pulsar range were previously hiked in early May this year.
• The price increase varies from Rs 301 to Rs 999.
• No other change apart from the price hike.

It’s been just two months since its last price hike and Bajaj Auto has increased the prices of its Pulsar BS6 range yet again. This affects models like the Pulsar 125 Neon, Pulsar 150, Pulsar 180F, Pulsar 220F, Pulsar NS160, Pulsar NS200, and the Pulsar RS200. Here’s a detailed ex-showroom Delhi price table comparing the new prices with the old one:

Bajaj Bikes	Latest Price	Previous Price	Price Premium
Pulsar 125 Neon	Front Disc: Rs 75,795	Front Disc: Rs 75,494	Front Disc: Rs 301
Pulsar 150	Neon: Rs 91,002 Standard: Rs 97,958 Twin Disc: Rs 1,01,837	Neon: Rs 90,003 Standard: Rs 96,960 Twin Disc: Rs 1,00,838	Neon: Rs 999 Standard: Rs 998 Twin Disc: Rs 999
Pulsar 180F	Rs 1,11,328	Rs 1,10,330	Rs 998
Pulsar 220F	Rs 1,20,787	Rs 1,19,789	Rs 998
Pulsar NS160	Rs 1,06,899	Rs 1,05,901	Rs 998
Pulsar NS200	Rs 1,29,530	Rs 1,28,531	Rs 999
Pulsar RS200	Rs 1,49,466	Rs 1,48,467	Rs 999

Bajaj is known to price its bikes competitively at launch and increase the prices slowly over the months. We’ve seen this with the Bajaj Dominar 400. Fortunately for the Pulsar range, the price hike isn’t all that much to affect the customers’ buying decision. Interestingly, Bajaj hasn’t hiked the price of the Pulsar 125 Neon front drum brake-equipped variant. It continues to be priced at Rs 70,995 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This variant is the most affordable motorcycle under the Pulsar lineup and it is likely that Bajaj might’ve wanted to keep it accessible. That is probably why Bajaj has left it untouched in terms of pricing.

Bajaj’s Pulsar lineup was well-known to have extremely competitive pricing, but with all these recent price hikes, they seem to be losing their value. Moreover, none of these BS6-compliant models get anything new in terms of features. Thus the premium of around Rs 3,000 to Rs 11,000 (depending on the model) over their respective BS4-compliant counterparts isn’t really justified. What do you guys think?
