Bajaj Domestic Motorcycle Sales Rise 51%

March ’09

From a low of 61,546 units in December 2008, Bajaj domestic motorcycle sales have grown progressively over the last quarter and by as much as 51% in March 2009 to 92,947 units. Total motorcycle sales (including exports) for March 2009 were up 12% over December 2008 to 132,210 units.  This growth has been led primarily by the XCD 135 DTS-Si which sold 21,883 units in March 2009, its second month of sales.  
Bajaj expects even stronger growth in the first quarter of FY2010 powered by the continuing success of the XCD 135 DTS-Si as also the launch of product upgrades off the Pulsar platform.

Exports for the year at 772,519 units represented a growth of 25% over FY 2008.
