Bajaj Auto is looking to make a stir in the entry-level two-wheeler segment by launching CNG motorcycles, which will reduce fuel costs for consumers by nearly 50%. In an interview, Bajaj Auto’s Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj expressed surprise that there were no CNG scooters or motorcycles available, stating that manufacturers should not be concerned about safety, range, charging, and battery life, as these bikes would be great options for consumers. However, the sales of Bajaj Pulsar CNG, an entry-level internal combustion engine CNG motorcycle, have not seen an increase due to the growing preference for electric alternatives among buyers.
Bajaj Auto, a leading domestic two-wheeler manufacturer, has revealed its strategy for expanding its vehicle portfolio. The company is soon expected to launch India’s first CNG motorcycle, introducing a 100cc bike called Bajaj Pulsar CNG. Recently, Rajiv Bajaj, the managing director of Bajaj Auto, made a request to the Finance Minister to reduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on CNG vehicles to 18%.
The Bajaj Pulsar CNG has become a favorite among the youth, thanks to its impressive engine performance and stylish look. Let’s take a look at its powerful engine and excellent features. This CNG motorcycle will feature a new engine that has not been seen in previous models. Bajaj Auto currently offers Pulsar bikes up to 250cc in its portfolio, so it is expected that the company could introduce a 400cc variant of the Bajaj.
