Bajaj Auto Share Price

Bajaj Auto, the flagship company of the Bajaj Group, is a two- and three-wheeler manufacturer with operations in over 70 countries across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and other regions. The company's headquarters are in Pune, India.

It now owns 48% of the KTM Brand, making sports and super sports two-wheelers, up from 14% when it first bought KTM in 2007.

M/s Bachraj Trading Corporation Private Limited, the forerunner of Bajaj Auto, was founded on November 29, 1945. It began by importing and selling two- and three-wheel motorcycles in India. It received a license from the Indian government to manufacture two-wheelers and three-wheelers in 1959 and a license from Piaggio to produce Vespa Brand Scooters in India.

In 1960, it became a public limited company. The company changed its branding from a scooter producer to a two-wheeler manufacturer after introducing motorcycles in 1986. Bajaj Auto purchased a controlling stake in the Tempo Firodia firm in the early 2000s, calling it "Bajaj Tempo." Daimler-Benz had a 16% ownership in Bajaj Tempo, but the company sold it back to the Firodia group.

Bajaj Tempo agreed to progressively phase off the "Tempo" brand name, which was still owned by Mercedes-Benz. Over the protests of Bajaj Auto, with whom the firm shares a long history and a compound wall, the company's name was changed to Force Motors in 2005, eliminating "Bajaj" and "Tempo." Bajaj Auto purchased a 14.5% investment in Austrian rival KTM through its Dutch company Bajaj Auto International Holding BV in 2007, progressively growing its position to a 48% non-controlling share by 2020.

In December 2020, Bajaj began talks with KTM's controlling stakeholder, Pierer Mobility, a subsidiary of Pierer Industrie, about selling its KTM interest to Pierer Mobility. Bajaj Auto invested around 57 crores ($8 million) in Yulu, a bicycle, and electric scooter rental startup, on November 26, 2019. Bajaj will also produce specialized electric scooters for Yulu as part of this agreement.
