Bajaj Auto already holds leadership positions in the electric scooter and three-wheeler markets with the Chetak and GoGo models. The foray into electric motorcycles is seen as a natural extension, aiming to fill a critical gap in India’s evolving EV ecosystem.

Beyond motorcycles, the company is also planning to expand its electric scooter lineup. A new scooter platform, originally scheduled for launch earlier, has now been deferred to Q3 or Q4 of FY26 due to global supply chain constraints, particularly the shortage of rare earth magnets essential for EV manufacturing.
