Bajaj’s New Bike Models and Achievements
In recent years, Bajaj has introduced several new bike models into the market. The company’s 125cc Pulsar is performing well, as are the Pulsar N150, N160, Pulsar 150, and Platinum range bikes. The design for the Chetak EV has also been prepared at the electric two-American plant, and the company achieved its highest sales in December 2023 with 13,008 units sold.
Upcoming Plans and Competition
The company is now eyeing the growing competition in the big engine bike range and may soon include the most powerful Pulsar in its portfolio. The company is also preparing to introduce a CNG bike and a long-range model of the electric Chetak. In other words, Bajaj is gearing up to challenge Royal Enfield in the large engines segment and Ola and TVS in the electric segment.
Company’s Future Plans and GST Payments
A few days ago, the company’s managing director, Rajiv Bajaj, hinted at the launch of a CNG bike with the upcoming new Pulsar range in the future. He also paid 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the Central C Disorganized Group from the Ministry of Finance’s general group.
Possible Launch of 400cc Pulsar and CNG Bike
Bajaj Auto could launch the most powerful Pulsar range bike with a 400CC engine by March this year. This motorcycle might be branded as the NS400. Although the company has not shared any official information about the launch of this bike, it is speculated to be a street bike. This Pulsar is expected to have a new 400CC engine, currently seen in the KTM 390 Duke and Triumph Speed 400. However, the company could tune this engine differently for the new Pulsar.
New Chetak Electric Coming Soon
Bajaj Auto has plans to expand its electric automobiles as well. Rajiv Bajaj has stated that new electric models will be introduced under the Chetak brand in the future. These models could be launched during the upcoming festive season. The company’s share in the electric two-wheeler market tripled to 14% at the end of the third quarter, up from 5% during the same period a year ago. Bajaj Auto introduced a new Chetak model in December. Currently, the company is selling approximately 10,000 electric vehicles every month, up from 3,000-4,000 units at the start of this financial year.
