<p>Bajaj Auto has taken full control of KTM AG after receiving all regulatory approvals for its €800-million takeover. The final clearance from European authorities closed a process that had been under review for several months. Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV, a fully owned subsidiary, has acquired all shares of Pierer Bajaj AG, the holding company that oversaw KTM and its parent group. With this, Bajaj now owns about 74.9 per cent of Pierer Mobility AG, the company that directly controls KTM AG. This ends the earlier shared-ownership model and places Bajaj in charge of KTM’s decisions, operations, and long-term direction.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-adventure-adventure-x-prices-increased-in-india-heres-what-youll-pay-now-122239/">KTM 390 Adventure, Adventure X Prices Increased in India – Here’s What You’ll Pay Now</a></p><p>Before this deal, Bajaj held only a minority stake in KTM while the Pierer Group managed the company. The takeover shifts full authority to Bajaj, and the restructuring includes new names for the holding companies. Pierer Bajaj AG is now Bajaj Auto International Holdings AG, and Pierer Mobility AG has been renamed Bajaj Mobility AG. These changes reflect the new ownership and Bajaj’s expanded role within the organisation.</p><p>

KTM and Bajaj have worked together since 2007 under a joint development programme in India. Full ownership now allows Bajaj to directly influence product development, manufacturing plans, and global market strategies across KTM’s operations. It also supports Bajaj’s broader strategy in segments where KTM already has a strong global reach.</p><p>The €800-million acquisition was funded through a Bajaj subsidiary and secured all approvals under the European Union’s Foreign Subsidies Act and competition authorities. With the legal process complete, Bajaj has started restructuring KTM’s supervisory and management boards. These changes are designed to align leadership with the new ownership and prepare KTM for its next phase of global growth.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-990-rc-r-unveiled-globally-key-specs-features-and-india-launch-timeline-121952/">KTM 990 RC R Unveiled Globally: Key Specs, Features, and India Launch Timeline</a></p><p>With the Pierer Group exiting completely, Bajaj now controls KTM’s worldwide operations. This includes decisions on motorcycle development, market direction, motorsport programmes, and global expansion. However, Bajaj’s plan to cut overheads by more than 50% has raised concerns around KTM’s MotoGP and other racing activities.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/KTM-MotoGP-Rider-Pedro-Acosta-(1)-1758001801789.webp" alt="KTM MotoGP Rider Pedro Acosta (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>KTM Racing, which operates as a separate legal entity, may face budget reductions or structural changes.

Bajaj Pulsar NS125, N160 and More Offer Savings Up to Rs 15,759 with GST, Festival Season Deal

Bajaj Pulsar festival offer combines full GST savings, financing support, and insurance perks, helping buyers save up to Rs 15,759 this festive season.

<p>Bajaj Auto has achieved a significant milestone with its Chetak electric scooter, crossing 5 lakh unit sales since its launch in 2020. The company has sold a total of 5,10,000 scooters, including 2,06,366 units in just the past ten months. Bajaj links this achievement to strong customer demand for electric two-wheelers and its ability to maintain consistent production. The Chetak’s journey to this milestone has been steady. After being reintroduced in January 2020, the model took nearly four years to cross its first 1,00,000-unit mark in November 2023. Progress in the early years was slower due to supply constraints, particularly a shortage of rare earth magnets. This temporary disruption gave rivals, such as the TVS iQube, an opportunity to take the lead in the segment. However, Bajaj has since addressed these production hurdles and has shifted focus to meeting the rising demand with stable manufacturing.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/new-kinetic-dx-ev-vs-bajaj-chetak-electric-spec-comparison-whats-different-121367/">New Kinetic DX EV vs Bajaj Chetak Electric Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>To strengthen its presence in the electric two-wheeler market, Bajaj has also expanded the Chetak range and extended its retail network. The company now operates more than 3,800 outlets across India, which helps customers with both purchase and after-sales service. Bajaj considers this wide dealership and service footprint as a key contributor to Chetak’s rising popularity, ensuring easier accessibility and ownership experience for buyers across urban and semi-urban regions.</p><p>

These models cater to a diverse set of users by offering different features and performance specifications. Buyers can choose from two battery packs: a 3 kWh unit or a 3.5 kWh option, depending on their commuting range requirements. Bajaj has priced the entry-level model at Rs 99,900 (ex-showroom), making it a competitive choice in the growing electric scooter market.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bajaj-ktm-bikes-now-more-affordable-by-up-to-rs-20000-post-gst-cut-121719/">Bajaj, KTM Bikes Now More Affordable by Up to Rs 20,000 Post-GST Cut</a></p><p>Looking ahead, Bajaj aims to capitalise on India’s increasing shift towards electric mobility.

Bajaj, KTM Bikes Now More Affordable by Up to Rs 20,000 Post-GST Cut

Bajaj Auto Ltd. has confirmed a notable price revision across its Bajaj and KTM range, following the most recent GST update. The revised prices will come into effect starting September 22, 2025.

<p>Kinetic’s re-entry into the Indian EV scooter market with its new DX EV brings a retro-modern contender that revives the classic Kinetic DX nameplate. Priced around Rs 1.11–1.17 lakh (ex-showroom) and offering up to 116 km IDC range, it blends nostalgia with modern electric mobility. On the other hand, the Bajaj Chetak Electric, a familiar face in the premium EV space, delivers a refined blend of purpose and performance with a larger battery, slightly higher range, and iconic metal-bodied styling. While the DX EV aims to capture attention through its design-led features, Chetak’s matured presence ensures trust and reliability. Together, they represent two contrasting philosophies in India’s evolving electric scooter segment.</p><h2>New Kinetic DX EV vs Bajaj Chetak Electric Spec Comparison: Price</h2><table style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100%;"><tbody>

<p>The new Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is here — yes, already! Just six months after the original launch, Bajaj has given it a mid-cycle refresh with meaningful changes.<br><br>But is that enough to make it a must-upgrade for existing owners? Or is the NS400Z now just a better value proposition for new buyers?</p>

2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Review: More Power, Same Value? | autoX

The new Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is here — yes, already! Just six months after the original launch, Bajaj has given it a mid-cycle refresh with meaningful changes.

<p>Bajaj appears to have quietly withdrawn the Pulsar N150 from its official website, raising the possibility that the model has been phased out. Launched as a dynamic alternative to the Pulsar 150 and borrowing design cues from the N160, the N150 underwent a minor revision with updated colour schemes and a digital console offering optional Bluetooth connectivity. The bike was offered in two trims, a lower-spec variant without Bluetooth priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, and a feature-rich version at Rs 1.31 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom). Despite its 149.7cc engine producing 14.3bhp and 13.5Nm, the N150 never quite matched the success of its more powerful 160cc sibling. Bajaj has not issued a formal statement regarding its removal, leaving open the question of whether the model is discontinued for good or merely awaiting a future update.</p><h2>Bajaj Pulsar N150: Key Specs</h2><p>The now-removed Pulsar N150 came equipped with a 149.6cc single-cylinder engine tuned to deliver 14.5bhp at 8,500rpm and peak torque of 13.5Nm at 6,000rpm, performance figures identical to those of the Pulsar P150. This engine was coupled to a five-speed gearbox handling power delivery.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-bajaj-pulsar-ns400z-vs-royal-enfield-guerrilla-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-121202/">2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>For ride and handling, it relied on 31mm front telescopic forks and dual rear shock absorbers. Braking hardware included a 260mm disc at the front and a 130mm drum setup at the rear. These components were paired with 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with MRF tyres&nbsp;– a 90/90 section up front and a 120/70 at the back.</p><p>With the N150 no longer part of the range, the Pulsar N series is now limited to just three models: N125, N160, and N250.</p><h2>Other developments</h2><p>Bajaj has recently introduced an updated version of the Pulsar NS400Z in India, now priced at Rs 1.92 lakh (ex-showroom). This refreshed model brings several mechanical and performance enhancements. It retains the familiar 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, but power output has been bumped up to 42.4bhp from the earlier 39.5bhp, while peak torque remains steady at 35Nm. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed transmission. One of the standout additions is a bi-directional quickshifter, allowing for clutchless upshifts and downshifts.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bajaj-auto-reports-1-yoy-sales-growth-in-june-2025-with-360-units-121117/">Bajaj Auto Reports 1% YoY Sales Growth in June 2025 with 3.60 Units</a></p><p>Tyre upgrades include a switch from the previous 140-section MRF Revz rear to a wider 150-section Apollo Alpha H1 tyre, promising better grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The front tyre, still a 110/70-R17 size, also transitions to an Apollo Alpha H1 unit. Additionally, braking performance has been improved with the replacement of organic brake pads by more responsive sintered pads.</p>
