Bajaj Auto will launch the most awaited Kawasaki Ninja 250 on 5th October in India. This superbike costing around Rs. 1.5 – 2 lakh will hit the Indian markets. “The bookings would start just ahead of Diwali and the deliveries would happen immediately,” Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj stated. He added that a new version of Pulsar would also be launched within three months. The new Kawasaki Ninja is powered by 250cc engine and churns out 30PS of max power and a peak torque of 21Nm.

Bajaj Auto had seen a sharp decline in sales number in the last financial year, and seems now to be turning the tables at a faster rate. "We are experiencing production shortage in case of Discover and Pulsar motorbikes as the sales of these two models are jointly expected to hit 1,30,000 mark this month. Also, the availability of the tyres for these vehicles is under pressure. This has resulted into certain waiting period for these two models," said Ravi Bajaj.

Bajaj also intends to launch three new models including three-wheeler and passenger vehicle segment. It launched RE600 cargo vehicle meant for intra-city goods transport priced at Rs 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom Pune)
