News Story
New Delhi, June 25, 2026: Bajaj Auto plans to strengthen its domestic portfolio of motorcycles in the 125cc-and-above category and accelerate the expansion of its Chetak electric scooter business during the financial year 2026-27.
In the company’s annual report for 2025-26, Chairman Niraj R Bajaj said the automaker would pursue growth opportunities across domestic and international markets while navigating a volatile and uncertain operating environment.
The 125cc-and-above motorcycle segment remains strategically important for Bajaj Auto because it includes higher-value and premium products that can support stronger realisations and profitability.
The company is also preparing to “turbocharge” Chetak as competition intensifies in India’s rapidly expanding electric two-wheeler market.
Bajaj Auto is expected to focus on expanding Chetak’s reach, strengthening its retail and service network, improving product availability and introducing offerings suited to different categories of electric-scooter customers.
Exports to Remain a Major Growth Driver
The company will also seek to increase exports as demand improves across several key overseas markets.
Bajaj Auto has a substantial international presence, selling motorcycles and commercial vehicles across Latin America, Africa, South Asia and other emerging markets. Recovering demand in these regions could provide an important source of growth during FY27.
However, the automaker expects global logistics disruptions and changing trade conditions to remain potential obstacles.
Bajaj said geopolitical developments, commodity-price inflation, supply-chain disruptions and shifts in global trade dynamics were creating significant challenges, particularly at the beginning of the new financial year.
Focus on Innovation and Capacity
To support its growth plans, Bajaj Auto is expected to continue investing in product innovation, brand development and an improved customer experience.
The company will also focus on increasing capacity in electric vehicles and premium motorcycles while reducing risks associated with component shortages and supply-chain interruptions.
Bajaj Auto’s established motorcycle brands and its growing electric portfolio provide the company with opportunities across conventional and emerging mobility segments.
India Offers Long-Term Growth Potential
The company remains optimistic about India’s economic and mobility outlook.
According to Bajaj, India continues to be one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, offering significant long-term potential in domestic consumption and electric mobility.
Growing incomes, demand for premium motorcycles and the gradual adoption of electric vehicles could support Bajaj Auto’s expansion over the coming years.
Despite near-term uncertainties, the company believes opportunities across products, markets and customer segments offer substantial room for growth.
