Pune’s police departments — Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and Pune Rural — just got a major upgrade with 100 specially customised Bajaj Dominar 400 motorcycles inducted into their forces. These high-performance bikes will supercharge patrolling, rapid response, and overall law enforcement efficiency across urban and rural areas.
The handover happened at Pune Police Ground, Shivajinagar, attended by top officials including Mr. Amitesh Kumar (CP, Pune), Mr. Vinay Choubey (CP, Pimpri-Chinchwad), Mr. Sandeep Gill (SP, Pune Rural), Mr. Chandrakant Pulkundwar (Divisional Commissioner), Mr. Naval Kishor Ram (PMC Commissioner), Mr. Shravan Hardikar (PCMC Commissioner), Ms. Sheetal Teli (Sports Commissioner), Mr. Jitendra Dudi (Pune District Collector), and Mr. Gajanan Patil (Zilla Parishad CEO).
The Dominars will first roll out in the official convoy for Bajaj Pune Grand Tour 2026 (Jan 19–23), covering the event’s 437 km route across 9 talukas and 150 villages — thanks to Pune’s recent massive road upgrades. After that, they’ll hit day-to-day duties.
Why Dominar 400 is Perfect for Police Duty
Built by Bajaj Auto Ltd. (the world’s most valuable 2- and 3-wheeler maker), these police-spec Dominar 400s pack a powerful 373.3cc liquid-cooled engine for reliable grunt, paired with advanced aids like dual-channel ABS, Traction Control, and electronic suspension for sharp handling in chases or rough conditions.
Key mods for police work include:
- Enhanced Visibility & Communication: Powerful LED emergency lights, sirens, and PA system with push-to-talk radio.
- Integrated Tech: GPS tracking and charging points for phones/walkie-talkies.
- Emergency First Aid Kit onboard.
- Specialised Storage: Lockable side panniers and top box for gear like first-aid, forensic tools, and documents.
These bikes are a smart fit for Pune’s fast-growing urban sprawl, blending mobility, power, and tech to keep officers agile and effective. A big win for safety and response times!
