Apart from the Indian market, Bajaj Auto has a strong presence in the African market and some European markets as well, with both its commuter and high-performance motorcycles.

Commenting on the sales performance, Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director, Bajaj Auto, said that the wide range of motorcycles made by the company covers the entire spectrum from entry, middle, and up to premium level segments allowing it to engage with a wide spectrum of customers from the moto-taxi driver in Africa to the adventure seeker in Europe. "We have commenced FY2022 on a very positive note despite the challenging environment," he also said.

He also added that this versatility is of enormous value in managing the current volatility as well as uncertainty and keeping the wheels of business moving for all the company's stakeholders. In a bid to expand its business, Bajaj Auto is planning to scale up its network to 24 more cities in the coming year, as revealed by Sharma.

The company has also announced an investment of 50 crore for a fourth plant that will be built at Chakan of Maharashtra. This will help the brand to cater to the rising demand for its products globally. The fourth plant will be manufacturing only its premium motorcycles and Chetak electric scooter, for which the brand has restarted the booking process recently.
