Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) is working on higher power bikes which will be launched under its own brand. It currently markets bikes up to 220cc and is developing a 250cc and a 300cc bike to tap the high-end domestic bike market.
The new upgrade of Pulsar is also being developed by the company. According to a company official, BAL has already approached an Europe-based motorcycle design consultancy to work out new designs for the bikes and is also taking help from its Austrian bike company, KTM, in which BAL has a stake.
BAL GM (marketing) Amit Nandi said: “The new launches are part of the long-term plan to develop bigger bikes under the Bajaj banner. We are working on that. We have the capability and technology to develop products on our own, which will be leveraged to develop products across different segments.”
Unlike Hero Honda, which is dependent on its Japanese partner Honda Motor Co for technology, Bajaj Auto has developed its own technology over the years. So the company is working on new bikes based on its patented DTSi technology and also its indigenously developed fuel injection technology.

above shown pics are imaginary or true ………. new pulsar 180cc plz…tell some new features of it & also mention its price plz……
Harsh, the above pics are sketches. Checkout the post on Pulsar 180 Upgrade for details on the new Pulsar 180.
consept handle should be changed. handle is not safe, sujest a supermoto type.
piease release bikes with large scoops. It looks pienty very attractive to youth……. they all looking for that…………………….
The reason bajaj is taking so long is probably because they have to rethink their strategy. For starters when the CBZ was launched, it kicked ass by being the first sporty bike which gripped the market, then came along the pulsars and from the very start has been eating into the 150/ 180 market segment. The dtsi’s marked a complete success of bikes in India with other bikes suffering badly. Hero honda karizma still remained unbeaten even by the 180 dtsi ug. However then came along the P220 that was in a different league, newer tech, fi,etc…which probably beats the zma in some aspects…so not much needed to be done because of the well established market value that was set up by bajaj. Have i mentioned Yamaha anywhere…not till now..because they didnt make head lines for a while…but that was about to change….FZ16 and the R15…that changes things for everybody and has really been the show stopper recently…i can tell you 10 reasons why a bike lover should go in for an FZ 16 for daily commuting…so coming back to the point…for bajaj simply releasing a new biker with a better engine wont do…how many bike versions and models will they release…xcd 135 dtsi , 150 dtsi, 180 dtsi, 200 dtsi/ probably 200 dtso fi, p220 dts fi….p250 p300??? the new release has to really capture the hearts of the commuters or bike lovers once again the way it did when it was first released….so just an engine upgrade is not going to work this time..when you have complete finished classy bikes like the FZ 16 in the market…so besides the global economic slowdown which has disturbed the demand and supply chain…there are other reasons as well why bajaj is simply not launching a new bike…:-)
By the way i owned a pulsar for 5 years, and it was my fav bike …after a while i had done many performance mods, knn, jetting, engine porting, shinko tyres…and i really enjoyed my ride…and now have purchased an FZ 16 after that and believe me…when i say u can feel the difference..i don’t just mean power..i mean handling, comfort, stability…
not saying it is the best…i would love to go for the p200 but i had already owned a pulsar for 5 years so i wanted a different bike experience…:-) and ……………………………..believe me it is a difference EXPERIENCE!!!!
Aaron, thanks for the detailed explanation on Bajaj’s strategy. I hope people are now patient :)
