Bajaj Dominar 400 & Dominar 250 launched in Malaysia under a new brand name
Baja Auto has launched the made-in-India Dominar 400 and Dominar 250 motorcycles in Malaysia at the 2023 Malaysia Autoshow. While these are India-made motorcycles, the Dominar range is sold in Malaysia under a different brand name and are called the Modenas Dominar 400 and Modenas Dominar 250 respectively. Modenas is Bajaj Auto’s partner in Malaysia and the two companies have had a partnership for a couple of years now.
The tie-up not only includes retailing Bajaj motorcycles in Malaysia but also exchanging technology between the two-wheeler makers. Bajaj exports the Dominar 400 and 250 from its facility in India to Malaysia as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits, which are then locally assembled at Modenas facility in the South East Asian country.
