- Bajaj’s overall sales drop by 17 per cent
- Sold 3,91,303 units of two-wheelers last month
- Domestic sales down by 26 per cent
Bajaj Auto has recorded a slump of 17 per cent in its overall sales in the month of October, 2021. The company sold 3,91,303 units of two-wheelers last month, which was down from 4,70,290 units in the corresponding month last year.
Talking about domestic sales, there was a downfall of as much as 26 per cent with sales coming down from 2,68,631 units in October, 2020 to 1,98,738 units last month. Meanwhile, the slump in exports wasn’t as severe. The company dispatched 1,92,565 units last month which was a marginal drop of five per cent.
Going forward, sales are likely to witness an upsurge this month due to increased buying sentiment during Diwali. The recent launches of the Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250 might also contribute majorly in raking in more sales for Bajaj. Launched with a starting price of Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom), the dispatches of these motorcycles will commence from 10 November. We also saw a new touring-oriented version of the brand’s flagship offering, the Dominar 400, last month. It’s priced at Rs 2.17 lakh and gets add-ons like a tall windscreen, knuckle guards, and rear luggage rack.
