Bajaj Auto will foray into uncharted territories with a couple of all-new motorcycles in the next few months, as confirmed by the top officials
Bajaj Auto is all set to expand its motorcycle range with the introduction of adventure and all-electric models in the coming months. While the upcoming Bajaj ADV bike has been spotted several times during its test runs, the all-electric motorcycle has not begun testing as of now. The company had earlier confirmed that its first mass-market electric motorcycle will be launched in the Indian market by FY28. On the other hand, the Bajaj adventure bike will have its global premiere in the next couple of months by Dec 2026.
“Development of our electric motorcycle is well underway, with product work progressing steadily. We anticipate a launch around FY28, provided all goes to plan. Our initial focus will be on export markets, followed by the domestic,” said Dinesh Thapar, Chief Financial Officer, Bajaj Auto, during a post-earnings call in July 2026. The brand currently retails the Chetak electric scooter with multiple battery pack options.
Presently, Royal Enfield is the only mainstream legacy brand to have an electric bike portfolio in India while several others such as Hero MotoCorp and TVS are working on such models. The Pune-based two-wheeler brand stated that it has elaborate plans to widen the EV portfolio which comprises of electric scooters, electric three-wheelers, e-rickshaws and, eventually, electric motorcycles.
One of the primary reasons behind the introduction of e-motorcycle is the Delhi EV Policy 2026 which has banned new registrations of petrol and CNG two-wheelers from April 1, 2028. Some of the prominent companies present in the e-motorcycle segment are Ola Electric, Ultraviolette Automotive, Revolt Motors, Oben Electric, and Matter. This category is still in the nascent stages as most of the key two-wheeler brands are focused on electric scooters.
As for the Bajaj ADV motorcycle, it will have its highly-anticipated debut by the end of 2026 in India. This was also confirmed by Waldyr Ferreira – Executive Director of Bajaj Brazil, who told the local media that it could be launched in December 2026 in the Latin American country. The Bajaj adventure bike will borrow the 249cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine from the Pulsar N250.
Another major feature of the ADV motorcycle revealed in the latest spy pics is the all-digital instrument cluster with TFT screen. It appears identical to the 5-inch unit introduced with the recent Pulsars. However, it remains to be seen whether the ADV bike gets traction control system, switchable ABS and ride modes. Though, we can confirm that it will come with turn-by-turn navigation as standard. It is likely to ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels.
