History of Bajaj Auto

Bajaj Auto Limited was incorporated on 29 November 1945 as Bachraj Trading Corporation Private Limited. Initially focused on selling imported two- and three-wheelers, the company obtained a manufacturing license in 1959 and became a public limited company in 1960. Over the decades, Bajaj Auto emerged as a key player in India’s automotive landscape, introducing iconic models like the Pulsar, Avenger, and Chetak.

The company expanded its manufacturing footprint with plants in Waluj, Chakan, Pantnagar, and Akurdi, and also built a strong export base. A major milestone came in 2008 with the demerger of Bajaj Holdings & Investments Ltd., creating a focused automotive entity. In subsequent years, Bajaj Auto entered into global partnerships with KTM, Triumph, and Kawasaki, strengthening its international presence and product portfolio.
