- Two-Wheeler Momentum: The two-wheeler segment remains the company’s primary volume driver. The Pulsar range continues to lead the charge, helping Bajaj maintain a 24% total growth in this category alone.
- CV Growth Fuels Revenue: The commercial vehicle division recorded a 35% total increase. This segment’s higher margins are a significant contributor to Bajaj’s recent record-breaking Q3 financial results.
- Electric Transition: The Chetak EV is carving out a serious niche, with electric vehicles now contributing significantly to the domestic revenue mix as Bajaj expands its network of exclusive EV stores.
What’s Next for Bajaj?
With the successful launch of the Freedom 125 (CNG) and more Pulsar interventions planned for the first half of 2026, Bajaj is clearly focused on reclaiming domestic market share. As the industry watches for upcoming hybrid cars, Bajaj’s diversified strategy—spanning CNG, EV, and high-performance ICE bikes—positions it uniquely for the rest of the year.
