Bajaj Auto, a prominent Indian two-wheeler manufacturer, is gearing up to broaden its product offerings in the domestic market. In a recent interaction with the media, Rajiv Bajaj, the company’s Managing Director, dropped hints about the impending launch of an all-new Bajaj Pulsar range and a CNG-powered bike in the 100 cc segment. Additionally, Bajaj has urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to consider raising the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on CNG vehicles to 18%.

While specific technical details about the upcoming model have not been disclosed, there is speculation that Bajaj Auto might unveil a 400cc Bajaj Pulsar.

Regarding the potential launch of a 400cc Bajaj Pulsar, Rajiv Bajaj has expressed confidence in the superior product they intend to introduce during this fiscal year.
