The model is priced at Rs&nbsp;99,990 (ex-showroom).

<p>Bajaj Auto is set to fully acquire Austrian motorcycle brand KTM through its subsidiary Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV (BAIHBV). This move aims to rescue KTM from bankruptcy and revive its global operations. Bajaj has secured €800 million (Rs 7,762 crore) in debt funding to settle KTM’s debts and provide fresh capital for day-to-day operations. Bajaj Auto has already invested €200 million (Rs 1,940 crore) in KTM over the past few months. The company currently owns a 37.5% stake in KTM and is now aiming for full control. The loan amount raised by BAIHBV is part of this rescue effort. Final approval from Austrian authorities is expected by mid-June 2025, after which creditor payments and restructuring will begin.</p><p>KTM’s revival depends on key approvals from Austrian regulators. These include the Takeover Commission, Foreign Investment Control, and Merger Control Authorities. The Austrian Court must also issue final restructuring orders. Until all clearances are in place, KTM’s current structure will continue. Once approvals are granted, Bajaj will restart KTM’s motorcycle production and global distribution of spare parts and accessories.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-enduro-r-vs-royal-enfield-bear-650-spec-comparison-whats-different-120498/">KTM 390 Enduro R vs Royal Enfield Bear 650 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>After taking full control, Bajaj Auto plans to rework KTM’s Board. New members from Bajaj may join KTM’s leadership team. The main goals will be to restart bike production, support dealers, and restore the KTM brand’s image. Bajaj also aims to improve operations and boost KTM’s presence in the premium motorcycle market.</p><p>KTM has suffered production delays in recent months. Bajaj Auto’s revival strategy includes restarting motorcycle manufacturing and re-establishing a stable supply chain for spare parts and merchandise. Dealers and customers can expect a step-by-step return to regular business as Bajaj works to rebuild brand trust and performance.</p><p>This takeover marks a turning point for KTM. Bajaj Auto’s strong finances and experience in two-wheeler manufacturing could bring KTM back as a strong global player. By using its global network and strategic know-how, Bajaj is preparing to reposition KTM in the premium motorcycle segment and ensure long-term growth.</p><h2>KTM in Motorsports</h2><p>The future of KTM’s motorsport division remains uncertain, as there has been no official statement regarding its continued participation in MotoGP, Dakar, and other racing events. With Bajaj Auto focusing on reviving KTM’s core operations, questions remain about how motorsport activities will fit into the broader recovery plan.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-enduro-r-vs-kawasaki-klx230-spec-comparison-whats-different-120423/">KTM 390 Enduro R vs Kawasaki KLX230 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Motorsport has long been a key part of KTM’s brand identity, especially in events like MotoGP and the Dakar Rally.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj</a>, which manufactures several <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM models in India</a>, including the Duke, RC, and Adventure series, has stepped in to assist its struggling Austrian partner amid ongoing financial challenges. According to the recent regulatory filing, the company’s Board of Directors has approved an investment of up to Euro 150 million (approximately Rs 1,364 crore) into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV (BAIH BV) in the Netherlands. The funds will be provided in the form of equity capital, preference capital, or a loan (convertible or otherwise). Notably, BAIH BV holds a 49.9% stake in Pierer Bajaj AG, which owns a majority 75% share in Pierer Mobility AG, the parent company of KTM. From the total investment, the filing highlights that BAIH BV has extended a loan of Euro 50 million (approximately Rs 455.56 crore) to Pierer Bajaj AG. </p><p>Last year, KTM found itself in a critical financial crisis, urgently requiring funds to stabilise its operations. Bajaj’s intervention has come as a welcome relief, offering essential support to the Austrian brand. Despite Bajaj's lack of official confirmation, the substantial Rs 1,364 crore investment in its Dutch holding company strongly suggests the homegrown automaker’s intent to bolster KTM's financial footing in Europe.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-ktm-390-adventure-x-vs-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-119951/">2025 KTM 390 Adventure X vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>For now, there has been no official word on how the funds will be utilised or directed. It is also unclear whether this significant investment will elevate Bajaj Auto to the role of KTM’s largest shareholder. However, what's evident is that the strong partnership between the two companies is set to grow even more resilient as they tackle KTM's financial struggles hand in hand.</p><h2>KTM's Restructuring Plan Gets Creditor Approval</h2><p>In November of the previous year, KTM AG, a fully owned subsidiary of PIERER Mobility AG, took the critical step of initiating court-supervised restructuring proceedings with self-administration. The goal was to reach an agreement with creditors on a restructuring plan within 90 days. Fast forward to recent developments, and creditors have given the green light to the proposed plan, which outlines a 30% one-time cash payment against their claims. To meet this obligation, KTM AG must deposit Euro 548 million (approximately Rs 5,017 crore) with the restructuring administrator by May 23, 2025. Once the court formally ratifies the plan in June 2025, the restructuring process will conclude, marking the end of this tumultuous chapter.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-tuono-457-vs-ktm-390-duke-spec-comparison-whats-different-119915/">Aprilia Tuono 457 vs KTM 390 Duke Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The approval guarantees KTM's independence, safeguarding it from any potential sale to third parties. Additionally, production at its Austrian plants is set to gradually resume starting mid-March 2025. To secure its future and overcome these financial hurdles, KTM needs a total of Euro 800 million to cover both the cash payout to creditors and the costs of scaling up production.</p>
