Stars
Chetak Electric Scooter Range
By late 2025 Chetak surged to a Stars position in Bajaj Auto’s BCG matrix, capturing about 22% of India’s electric scooter market and growing revenues 48% year-on-year to roughly INR 1,450 crore as EV demand expanded at ~35% CAGR. The brand pivoted from legacy to leader via a dedicated EV supply chain and launch of Chetak Premium and Chetak 2901, which together account for ~60% of Chetak volumes. Bajaj continues to invest ~INR 600 crore annually in R&D and charging infrastructure to defend share against startups and incumbents. Ongoing capex keeps margins pressured but secures scale and dealer reach for long-term dominance.
Pulsar Premium Sports Segment
The Pulsar brand’s 250–400cc range leads India’s premium commuter and entry-level sports segment, holding an estimated 28% market share in the 250–400cc band in FY2024–25 and growing at ~12% CAGR 2021–25 as performance demand rises in India and Southeast Asia. Bajaj reports reinvestment of ~6% of motorcycle revenue into R&D and product refreshes, funding regular tech upgrades (ABS, slipper clutch, ride modes) to retain the youth cohort. This combination yields high market share and high growth—classic Stars in Bajaj Auto’s BCG matrix.
Export-Focused Mid-Weight Motorcycles
Bajaj’s export-focused mid-weight motorcycles are Stars: by 2025 they drive high growth, with export volumes to Latin America and Southeast Asia up 28% YoY to ~420,000 units and contributing roughly 22% of consolidated revenue (FY2025 est.).
Leveraging scale at Chakan and Waluj plants and partnerships, Bajaj widened market share to 14–18% in target nations while gross margins on these models remained near 18%.
These Stars need sustained marketing spend (~INR 1.1–1.3 billion annually) and localized assembly investments (capex ~INR 4.5 billion in 2024–25) to manage tariff shifts and meet surging demand.
Electric Three-Wheeler (RE E-Tec)
RE E-Tec sits as a Star: last-mile shift from ICE to electric and India's 2025 e-rickshaw market growth ~28% CAGR have driven high demand, with Bajaj claiming ~45% market share in the nascent electric rickshaw segment as of FY2025.
Bajaj is investing ₹1,200 crore (2024–25) in battery-swapping partnerships and dealer training to scale unit economics; goal is to convert strong growth into stable cash flows as market matures.
- High growth: ~28% CAGR (2023–30 est.)
- Bajaj share: ~45% FY2025
- Capex: ₹1,200 crore (2024–25)
- Strategy: battery swapping, dealer upskilling
KTM Joint Venture Performance Bikes
The KTM joint venture is a Star for Bajaj Auto: in FY2024-25 the KTM portfolio (small-displacement KTMs made by Bajaj) helped Bajaj report a 22% Y/Y rise in export volumes to 485k units, driven by a 15% CAGR in the entry-premium global segment since 2020.
As co-developer and principal manufacturer, Bajaj captured high market share in 125–390cc bikes and saw EBITDA margins for the motorcycle division expand ~350 bps in 2024, but sustaining growth needs continuous engine and design R&D investment.
- Exports 485k units FY2024-25
- Entry-premium segment CAGR ~15% since 2020
- Division EBITDA +350 bps in 2024
- Requires ongoing engine and design R&D
Bajaj’s A‑team: Chetak, Pulsar, Exports & RE E‑Tec Power Strong Growth

Cash Cows
Pulsar 125cc and 150cc Series
The entry-level Pulsar 125cc and 150cc series are Bajaj Auto’s cash cows, holding ~28% share in India’s 100–150cc commuter motorcycle segment in FY2024 and accounting for ~22% of two-wheeler volumes in 2024.
These models deliver high margins—estimated EBITDA margins ~18–20% on the line—thanks to economies of scale and fully depreciated plants, with marketing spend under 3% of sales.
Cash flow from Pulsar operations funded R&D: Bajaj allocated Rs 1,250 crore (≈$150m) in 2024–25 toward electric mobility and hydrogen projects, with most capital coming from these models.
RE Three-Wheeler (ICE Models)
Bajaj RE three-wheeler (ICE) holds a global leadership—about 60–70% market share in South Asia and significant shares in Africa and Latin America—driving ~₹6,500–7,000 crore in annual revenue for Bajaj Auto in FY2024–25 from three-wheelers and spares, per company reports.
ICE fleet scale sustains aftermarket parts margins and predictable OEM sales despite slow volume growth from electrification; cash generation funds dividends (₹35–40 per share annual range 2024) and services net debt (net debt/EBITDA near 0.1 in FY2024–25).
Platina and CT Commuter Brands
Platina and CT commuter brands serve price-sensitive rural and semi-urban buyers where fuel efficiency drives purchases; Bajaj sold ~520,000 units in FY2024 across 100–110cc, supporting steady volumes.
The 100–110cc segment is mature with ~2% CAGR (2020–2024) and low growth; Bajaj holds a defensive ~28% market share in this band.
These models are highly cost-optimized, generating predictable EBITDA margins near 12–15% and requiring minimal R&D or ad spend, thus acting as reliable cash cows.
Global Aftersales and Spare Parts
Global Aftersales and Spare Parts is a cash cow for Bajaj Auto: the company supports an estimated 30+ million vehicles in use across Africa and Asia, yielding high-margin parts and service revenue of roughly INR 8,500–9,000 crore in FY2024, with low single-digit organic growth.
Demand stays steady irrespective of new-vehicle cycles, giving gross margins above core OEM margins and contributing predictable EBITDA that cushions downturns in primary vehicle sales.
This segment stabilizes cash flow and funds R&D and electrification capex, lowering group revenue volatility during economic shocks.
- Large installed base: ~30M+ vehicles
- FY2024 revenue: ~INR 8.5–9k crore
- Growth: low single digits
- Role: high-margin, predictable EBITDA
Boxer Series in African Markets
Boxer Series dominates transport and taxi segments across multiple African countries, holding market shares above 50% in key markets like Nigeria and Ethiopia and generating roughly $420–480 million in annual export revenue for Bajaj in 2024.
The region’s demand for rugged, basic commuters is mature, yielding steady margins and high brand loyalty; Boxer’s export cash funds about 12–15% of Bajaj Auto’s global operating cash flow and supports new market entries.
- Market share >50% in major African markets (2024)
- Export revenue ≈ $420–480M (2024)
- Funds ~12–15% of global operating cash flow
- High loyalty; low growth but strong cash generation
Pulsar & RE ICE: Bajaj’s high‑margin cash engines funding EV/H2 R&D and dividends
Pulsar 125/150 and RE ICE three-wheelers are Bajaj Auto’s cash cows—~22% of 2W volumes (2024) and RE ~60–70% in South Asia—yielding EBITDA ~12–20%, funding Rs 1,250 cr EV/H2 R&D (2024–25) and dividends (₹35–40/share), with net debt/EBITDA ≈0.1.
| Asset | 2024 metric | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Pulsar 125/150 | ~22% 2W vols; EBITDA 18–20% | High-margin cash generation |
| RE ICE 3W | 60–70% S Asia; ₹6.5–7k cr rev | Stable exports, aftermarket cash |
