Bajaj continues to lead the price segment with the Bajaj CT 100.

Similarly the Bajaj Pulsar DTS-i twins and the Bajaj Avenger DTS-i at 33,412 units (a growth of 37% over Jan. 2005), continue to lead the performance segment.

4.

Bajaj recorded an estimated 23% market share of the value segment owing to record sales of 58,083 units of the Bajaj Discover twins. Their capacity is being expanded to 75,000 units per month in response to the overwhelming demand.

Bajaj will shortly launch an all-new motorcycle in the value segment to further consolidate its position in that segment.
