Exports + EV Push Help Bajaj Auto Cross 50 Lakh Sales in FY2026
India’s two-wheeler giant Bajaj Auto has delivered a blockbuster performance in FY2026, crossing the 50 lakh annual sales milestone for the first time since FY2019. The company registered over 51.17 lakh units, marking a strong comeback phase driven by exports, premium motorcycles, and electric mobility growth. This achievement is significant not just as a number, but as a signal that Bajaj Auto has regained momentum after years of market fluctuations and global disruptions.
FY2026 turned out to be a record-breaking year for Bajaj Auto across multiple parameters. The company’s total volumes surged to 51.17 lakh units, up around 10% year-on-year, surpassing its previous peak recorded in FY2019. This growth reflects a well-balanced performance across segments — motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and electric two-wheelers — making Bajaj one of the strongest performers in the Indian auto industry this year. In addition to volumes, the company also reported ₹58,732 crore revenue (+17% YoY) and ₹9,825 crore profit (+21% YoY), highlighting strong financial health alongside sales growth.

One of the biggest contributors to Bajaj Auto’s FY2026 success has been its strong export performance. The company exported over 22.5 lakh units, registering around 21% growth YoY, reinforcing its position as one of India’s largest two-wheeler exporters. Markets in Latin America, Africa, and Asia continued to deliver strong demand, with Bajaj’s Pulsar and Boxer range performing exceptionally well globally. This export strength gives Bajaj a unique advantage compared to many domestic-focused rivals, allowing it to balance market cycles effectively.
On the domestic front, Bajaj Auto saw solid growth across motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Premium motorcycles like the Pulsar, Dominar, and KTM-Triumph lineup played a key role in driving higher value sales. The company’s strategy has clearly shifted towards premiumisation, focusing on higher-margin products rather than just volume-driven entry-level bikes.
At the same time, Bajaj continues to dominate the three-wheeler segment, where it remains a global leader, further strengthening its overall portfolio. FY2026 also marked a major milestone for Bajaj in the electric vehicle space. Its Chetak electric scooter crossed significant sales milestones, including 1 lakh units in a single quarter, showing strong traction in the growing EV segment.
The EV business generated over ₹4,000 crore revenue, indicating that Bajaj is successfully transitioning into the future mobility space while maintaining its ICE dominance. Another standout highlight was Bajaj’s commercial vehicle segment, which crossed 8 lakh units annually, marking its best-ever performance. This segment, especially three-wheelers, continues to be a strong revenue generator, benefiting from both domestic demand and export markets.
Crossing the 50 lakh mark is not just a statistical achievement — it represents Bajaj Auto’s complete recovery and transformation. After facing challenges due to pandemic disruptions and demand fluctuations, the company has now emerged stronger with:
- A diversified global presence
- Strong premium motorcycle lineup
- Rapid EV expansion
- Dominance in commercial vehicles

Looking ahead, Bajaj Auto appears well-positioned for sustained growth. With exports continuing to rise, EV adoption accelerating, and premium bikes gaining popularity, FY2027 could see even higher volumes. However, challenges remain in the form of rising competition from players like TVS, Hero, and emerging EV startups. Still, Bajaj’s strong brand equity and global reach give it a solid edge. Bajaj Auto’s FY2026 performance marks a defining moment for the company.
Crossing 50 lakh annual sales after six years signals not just recovery, but a new growth phase powered by exports, premiumisation, and electrification. If current trends continue, Bajaj is not just catching up to its past — it is setting the stage for a stronger, more future-ready automotive giant.
