Bajaj Auto is one of the leading two-wheeler brands in the country. Bajaj growth is phenomenal over the past few years, it sold 28 lakh units in 2019 up from 13 lakh units in 2012. In 2019, Bajaj growth declined by 12 % to 25 lakh units. 2019 turned out to be a bad year in general for the Automotive Industry and 2020 might follow the suit. The nationwide lockdown was enforced in India to control Coronavirus outbreak leading to a massive decline in the sales of two-wheelers. Not just the sales, companies had to deal with the transition from BS4 to BS6 Emission Norms. Bajaj Auto has updated its Pulsar Series with new a BS6 engine making it fully compliant with the new stringent BS6 pollution norms. Bajaj Pulsar RS200 will compete against the likes of Yamaha YZF-R15 V3 and KTM RC125 in the Indian market.
