Bajaj Auto Plans Big Entry into the Electric Motorcycle Segment

Bajaj Auto has taken the top spot in India’s electric two-wheeler market, after recording a strong 58.5% month-on-month growth in October 2025. This marks a big win for the company, especially with the success of its Chetak electric scooter, which continues to sell in huge numbers. Moreover, it’s now preparing to expand further with a brand-new range of electric motorcycles.

New Electric Motorcycle Platform

Bajaj is working on an all-new in-house platform for its future electric motorcycles. The brand would be drawing upon a wealth of experience from the electric scooter and petrol motorcycle categories. Bajaj already has reputable brands such as Pulsar, Boxer, and CT with a strong performance-reliability foundation.

The idea behind this all-new platform is to be future-ready. As of now, electric scooters dominate the EV space, while electric motorcycles comprise merely about 1% of the total EV two-wheeler sales in India. Bajaj wants to change that by bringing advanced and well-balanced electric bikes to the market.

Bajaj's Executive Director Rakesh Sharma has said that it is less about returns on investments in the short term but more about new opportunities. That simply explains that this electric motorcycle project will be more of an R&D work at Bajaj, upon which the company can act quickly when the market demand goes up.

Looking Ahead: Opportunities and Challenges

The electric motorcycle market in India is still small, but it has huge potential. Right now, options like Revolt RV400, Ola Roadster, Oben Rorr, and Ultraviolette F77 lead the way, but none come from legacy brands. That’s where Bajaj sees its opportunity, to build trust and scale quickly, just as it did in the scooter segment.

In addition, Bajaj could also target international markets with these electric motorcycles. The brand already exports two-wheelers to over 70 countries, and markets like Europe could see strong demand for high-quality electric bikes.
