The motorcycle industry in India is witnessing significant changes, with brands such as Bajaj Auto, a key player in the market, revising their strategies for the mid-capacity segment, especially the 350cc range. The impending launch of the Triumph 350 cc Range by Bajaj Auto has created great anticipation within the industry.
Bajaj Auto’s managing director, Rajiv Bajaj, in a recent interview with CNBC TV18, officially announced that the 350cc Triumph motorcycles will be available in the market by September 2026, a year closer than initially anticipated. This news, however, comes with more than just the product. It signals a larger strategy change in Bajaj Auto, indicating a realignment towards a more sustainable and competitive market position.
The change in the engine is a significant highlight. Currently, the 400 series offers a 398cc engine. For the new 350cc range, Bajaj Auto aims to reduce the engine capacity to less than 350cc, leading to a slight decrease in power and torque. However, this change is expected to yield better mileage and affordability, particularly as the company pivots towards offering more eco-friendly and cost-effective motorcycles.
The partnership between Bajaj Auto and Triumph is set to intensify the reach of the new 350cc range. Bajaj Auto has already shown potential in the premium entry-level segment with its 400 series, and the upcoming partnership aims to deepen its foothold in the Indian market.
