CV exports though were on the rise for Bajaj with 22,492 units shipped overseas, a 7 per cent increase over the same period last year.
Bajaj Auto struck gold with the new
V15 150cc commuter motorcycle and has been witnessing excellent growth thanks to the latest offering. The bike maker recently announced the new Blue shade for the bike, while confirming that over 1.60 lakh units of the V were sold since its launch earlier this year.
The bike maker also has all hands on deck with the strong demand recorded by the new Avenger range as well as the Pulsar series. While the
220F continues to be a strong seller, the new
AS 200 and
AS 150 have been bringing in healthy numbers as well. The new
Avenger Street 150 has been a major volume spinner for the brand.
Bajaj will now be moving its concentration towards introducing the MY2017 Pulsar series in the market, while the company's flagship offering '
Kratos' (formerly known as the Pulsar CS400) is also scheduled for launch in the following weeks.
