Bajaj Pulsar NS160 on-road price in Chennai
₹1.5 Lakh estimated on-road for the base variant, against ₹1.27 Lakh ex-showroom.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 costs an estimated ₹1,50,300 on the road in Chennai for the base Single Channel ABS variant. That is ₹23,481 over the ₹1,26,819 ex-showroom price, made up of ₹12,682 in Tamil Nadu road tax at 10%, ₹1,200 in registration charges and about ₹9,645 in first-year insurance.
That is ₹2,600 more than in Delhi, almost entirely because of the difference in state road tax.
With petrol at ₹100.80 in Chennai and a real-world 43.5 kmpl, fuel comes to about ₹2.32 per km, or ₹1,807 a month at 30 km a day. Heavy traffic will push mileage to the lower end of the real-world band.
