Bajaj Auto plans 20% capacity increase as Chetak EV demand outpaces supply
Bajaj Auto will expand capacity at Waluj and Akurdi by up to 20% by FY27-end, with the first 10% addition due in three to four months. The company is also set to launch 10 models within six weeks, including two 125–150cc Pulsars, after Q1 sales rose 29% year on year.
Bajaj Auto will raise production capacity by up to 20% by FY27-end at its Waluj and Akurdi plants as Chetak EV, commercial-vehicle and motorcycle demand exceeds supply. It also reported record Q1 revenue and plans 10 model additions within six weeks.
Why this matters
The plan extends Bajaj Auto's recent Chetak capacity push to 60,000 units a month and follows its FY28 international electric-motorcycle launch target, while export exposure may help offset Q1 margin pressure.
