Maruti reports highest ever sales in August, Tata Motors and Bajaj Auto decline

Pune, <keyword id="19897354" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj-auto" source="keywords">Bajaj Auto</keyword> is developing a portfolio of clean fuel CNG motorcycles, and the first such bike will hit the market in June, Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said here on Friday. The bike will run on CNG and would hit the roads in June, he said while announcing <keyword id="20201280" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj-group" source="keywords">Bajaj Group</keyword>'s commitment of Rs 5,000 crore towards <keyword id="19916939" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="corporate-social-responsibility" source="keywords">Corporate Social Responsibility</keyword> (CSR) spent over the next 5 years. The new bike would target mileage-conscious consumers and is expected to launch under a different brand. It is expected that CNG bikes will be priced higher than their petrol counterparts due to the higher cost of manufacturing besides having a special tank to offer petrol and CNG fuel options to offer convenience to customers. Bjaja also said that <keyword id="20050188" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pulsar" source="keywords">Pulsar</keyword> launched 20 years ago will hit 2 million units soon. Meanwhile, the Bajaj Group committed Rs 5,000 crore to social impact initiatives over 5 years, with a focus on skill development, under 'Bajaj Beyond'' the Group's new identity for all its CSR and charitable programmes. This will benefit over 2 crore of tomorrow's youth and enable them to take advantage of the employment and entrepreneurial opportunities offered by India's growing economy. "Social responsibility is deeply entwined in the <keyword id="21052740" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj-family" source="keywords">Bajaj Family</keyword>'s businesses and its philanthropic endeavours through generations. In the last 10 years alone, the Bajaj Group has contributed close to Rs 4,000 crore towards CSR initiatives largely focused on skilling and education, health, livelihood, water conservation, and several other areas of development," Bajaj Auto Chairman Niraj Bajaj said. The Bajaj Group's humanitarian efforts are channeled through several institutions. The <keyword id="21051165" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jamnalal-bajaj-foundation" source="keywords">Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation</keyword>, Jankidevi Bajaj Gram Vikas Sanstha, and the <keyword id="21052739" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kamalnayan-bajaj-hospital" source="keywords">Kamalnayan Bajaj Hospital</keyword>, among others, have worked unceasingly to uplift and empower communities, he said. The Group stays firmly committed to co-creating a thriving and inclusive future for all Indians, he added. Bajaj Group companies include Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Electricals, and Mukand Ltd. "Launching the Bajaj Engineering Skills Training (<keyword id="19925221" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="best" source="keywords">BEST</keyword>) last year has been a valuable learning experience for us. It gave us a very clear picture of the critical gap between theoretical education and practical skills needed in the manufacturing industry. The insights gained through BEST acted as a cornerstone in laying down the groundwork. With Bajaj Beyond, we will expand our skilling efforts across the group," Rajiv Bajaj said. "You do not change the world by sloganeering. Saying Make in India does not change the world; saying Aatmanirbhar does not change the world; saying vocal for local does not change the world; saying Viksit bharat does not change the world. "Words would not change the world, unless you have the skills to put those words into action. It would certainly not change the world by saying I will spend tens of thousand of crores of rupees on CSR or that I want to touch billions of lives," he added. Speaking at the event Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv, said, "Skilling has been at the heart of our social impact initiatives and we have seen the positive multiplier effect it has on the well-being of youth and their families. Our Certificate Programme in Banking, Finance and Insurance (CPBFI) prepares youth for employment in the fast-expanding financial services sector which is currently seeing a shortage of talent." With Bajaj Beyond, Bjajaj Finserv commits to strengthening India's skilling ecosystem, especially in the hinterland, enabling greater access to economic prosperity, he added.

Bajaj Auto working on CNG bike, to hit road in June: MD

<keyword id="6359783" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj-auto" source="Orion">Bajaj Auto</keyword> Ltd is ramping up <keyword id="22637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="production" source="Orion">production</keyword> of its electric scooter <keyword id="409918" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chetak" source="Orion">Chetak</keyword> to touch around 10,000 units a month by June, having overcome supply chain constraints as it gradually expands the sales network of the brand, according to a senior company official. The company plans to have around 150 exclusive outlets for the Chetak electric scooter by September, and is taking a calibrated expansion keeping in mind the uncertainty over the extension of FAME II scheme for promotion of electric vehicles beyond this fiscal. "We are trying to get to 10,000 (units) by June. It is a supply chain issue," <keyword id="6358511" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj" source="Orion">Bajaj</keyword> <keyword id="32870" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="auto" source="Orion">Auto</keyword> Executive Director Rakesh Sharma said here on the sidelines of opening of an exclusive Chetak showroom. The company has reached 5,000 units at present and next month, it will try to get to 7,000 units, he said, adding after that Bajaj Auto would assess how the demand is coming to plan future production roadmap. Sharma said the company had faced problems earlier due to over dependence on certain vendors, who could not supply some parts. "That we sorted out by the first quarter and it is giving us some confidence...," he said. Bajaj Auto Urbanite Business Unit President Eric Vas said the company had suffered production constraints due to the transition to the new battery norm AIS 156B, which came into effect from April 1 for enhanced safety. The constraints have been resolved to a large extent. "So, we think we will be back to normal production, in terms of production meeting our requirements of the number of stores we are opening possibly by middle to end of May and after that it is purely driven by what we want, we will get," he added. At present, the waiting period for Chetak is around 20 to 25 days, Vas said, adding, from May onwards, it would come down to three to five days. On network expansion, Vas said Chetak sales network currently spans across 88 towns through 105 dealerships. "By September, we hope to have around 150 exclusive outlets in 120 towns," he said, adding, the company would look at the market and calibrate again for expansion beyond these. Vas said a key factor for taking such an approach is the uncertainty over the continuation of the FAME II scheme, which was extended till March 31, 2024. "One of the things which we should have better clarity on sometime by September is what happens to FAME II after March (2024). I think a lot of things depend on that output," he said. When asked if FAME II scheme should be continued, he said the industry is of the opinion that cost of EVs will go up significantly if the subsidy is stopped and manufacturers could not afford to fully absorb the increased prices. "I think prices will go up. It will stop the growth of the industry and that is why I'm saying we (Bajaj Auto) need to calibrate very carefully when we're opening (new stores for Chetak)," Vas said. When asked about the outlook for fiscal 2023-24, Sharma said, if the supply holds out and the demand keeps picking up, along with the network expansion, Bajaj Auto could touch a total of 1 lakh electric two-wheelers between Chetak and what it supplies to electric mobility platform Yulu.
