Bajaj Sales Breakup May 2026 – Pulsar, Chetak, Platina, CT, Avenger, Dominar, Freedom

Bajaj Auto registered domestic sales of 1,95,398 units in May 2026, posting a 6.92% year-on-year growth over 1,82,746 units sold in May 2025. The company added 12,652 units in volume, with strong performances from the Pulsar range and Chetak electric scooter offsetting declines in Platina, CT and Freedom.

Bajaj Sales Breakup May 2026 – Pulsar Continues To Dominate

Pulsar remained Bajaj’s highest-selling brand by a massive margin with 1,24,270 units, accounting for 63.6% of the company’s domestic sales. Despite only a modest 1.73% YoY growth, the Pulsar family continues to be the backbone of Bajaj’s portfolio.

The biggest contributor to Bajaj’s growth story was Chetak, which registered sales of 38,376 units, up 50.26% from 25,540 units a year ago. It now contributes nearly 20% of Bajaj’s domestic volumes. Chetak’s strong performance reflects the growing acceptance of electric scooters in India and Bajaj’s expanding EV retail network.

Entry-level commuter motorcycles witnessed declining demand. Platina sales dropped 5.2% to 26,467 units, while CT declined 14.8% to 3,074 units. The Freedom CNG motorcycle also saw a significant decline of 46.96%, with sales falling to just 550 units from 1,037 units a year ago.

The Dominar range reported 1,089 units, registering a 32.97% YoY increase. This growth has largely been aided by the recently introduced 350cc Dominar, which has replaced the earlier 400cc model following the GST 2.0 revisions. Similarly, Avenger sales stood at 1,572 units, marginally lower than last year.

Engine-Wise Sales

The engine-wise breakup reveals where Bajaj’s momentum currently lies. The traditional 125cc and below commuter segment continued to weaken, with Platina, CT and Freedom witnessing lower demand. In contrast, the 151-250cc category delivered robust growth. Pulsar’s 151-200cc range grew 63.86%, while the 201-250cc Pulsars surged 140.48%, indicating buyers are increasingly moving towards higher-capacity motorcycles.

The newly introduced Pulsar 350 contributed 1,523 units, while Dominar 350 added 703 units during the month after replacing their earlier 373cc-based counterparts. Electric mobility also remained a key growth pillar, with Chetak accounting for 38,376 units, nearly one-fifth of Bajaj’s domestic sales.

Bajaj’s May 2026 performance highlights an ongoing shift in buyer preferences. While traditional commuter motorcycles continue to lose momentum, demand for premium motorcycles and electric scooters remains strong. Pulsar continues to anchor the company’s portfolio, whereas Chetak has firmly established itself as one of India’s leading electric scooters with a 50% growth rate.
