Bajaj Auto reported a 42% jump in net profit for the first quarter (Q1), driven by record export revenues and an accelerated push into electric vehicles (EVs). Export earnings rose by 35% year‑on‑year, while EV unit sales surged 150% during the same period.

Historical Background

Founded in 1945, Bajaj Auto is one of India’s leading two‑ and three‑wheel vehicle manufacturers. Over the past five years, the company has invested heavily in electric two‑wheelers (e2W) and electric three‑wheelers (e3W), pushing the EV share of its total sales to 8% in 2023. Government incentives and growing demand in overseas markets have propelled its export figures to new highs.

Export growth strengthens foreign‑exchange earnings, while robust EV sales help the country meet its climate‑change commitments.

For ordinary consumers, the expanding EV lineup translates into more affordable, greener mobility options, and the boost in production supports jobs and supply‑chain stability across the economy.

"Bajaj Auto’s strategic focus on EVs and export expansion is the cornerstone of its long‑term resilience," said industry analyst Rajesh Kumar.
