Apart from the three new Pulsar models, new-gen Chetak EV and an all-new ICE sub-brand will also debut in 2026 in India.
Bajaj Auto recently released the results of Q2 FY26 with claims that it was a “Landmark Quarter” as revenue and profit touched new highs. The company reported all-time best revenue of Rs 15,000 crores from operations while the best ever spares sales was also a major contributor in this success story. On the sidelines of Bajaj’s Q2 FY26 analyst call, Rakesh Sharma, Executive director, Bajaj Auto Ltd revealed the company’s future product plan which includes three new Pulsar models, new-gen Chetak EV, all-new ICE sub-brand and 350cc Triumph & KTM bike.
The Pulsar line-up will be expanded with the introduction of three new models and if reports are to be believed, we could see the first new Pulsar on the Indian roads as early as next month. The other two models, likely to be sporty commuter and performance motorcycles, are expected to launch in March and May 2026.
Sharma stated that the recent cut in GST rates from 28 percent to 18 percent on motorcycles with engine capacity below 350cc ‘offer excellent opportunities to attract customers to our Pulsar portfolio,’ and hence the brand Pulsar is being “further strengthened with new variants.” Hence, we can certainly expect refreshed models in the Pulsar range in the coming 4-6 months.
Interestingly, Bajaj Auto is planning to unveil an all-new ICE sub-brand for motorcycles, which could be aimed at the growing upgraders space. Sharma, without revealing much, said, “That part I’m holding close to my chest, but it will be sooner than later. It’s an absolutely new development. It will happen in the next fiscal, but earlier than later.”
The new-gen Chetak has already been spotted testing and we have shared the spy images of the electric scooter alongside the relevant information with you all in a separate article. The new-gen Bajaj Chetak could debut in early 2026 with several technological advancements, including the latest and more powerful electric motor with extended range on a single charge.
The Pune-based two-wheeler brand is also working on smaller (350cc) Triumph and KTM bikes for the Indian market. It is developing a downsized version of the Triumph’s 398cc engine so that the motorcycles attract 18 percent GST as compared to the present 40 percent. It has been learnt that power will drop by 3-5 bhp in the sub 350cc engine. “We are working along with our partners, KTM and Triumph, on reshaping our portfolio to take advantage of the lower GST rates, and these products will be launched in due course,” Sharma said.
