Bajaj was famous for its scooters, so its experience in two wheeler
is very high. By the cost of the entry we mean the initial capital
required to set up a new firm is very high, it makes the chances of
new entrants are low as compare to automobile industry.
The new product has to be different and attractive to be accepted
by the customers. Attractiveness can be measured in the terms of
the features , price etc. At this level the price of the Bajaj pulsar is
one thing that is attracting customers. Its on road price is Rs 70,000

labor etc. If there are few suppliers providing material essential to
make a product then they can set the price high to capture more
profit. Powerful suppliers can squeeze industry profitability to
great extend. In case of Bajaj pulsar the supplier are limited and
the size of the suppliers are big enough to bring about the
controlling power in the price of the bike. Bajaj pulsar is India
second largest bike manufacturing company so supplier power is
very high and switching cost to other manufacture is low because
he get good price for his materials.
