A Decade of Growth and Expansion in India with Bajaj Auto
Over the past decade, KTM has significantly expanded its footprint in India through its strategic partnership with Bajaj Auto, marked by two distinct growth phases. Beginning in 2012, KTM introduced a comprehensive lineup of premium motorcycles in the 200cc to 390cc range, featuring both Naked and Supersport models, while establishing a widespread sales and service network. From 2020, the brand further diversified its offerings by launching specialized models like the KTM ADVENTURE range and introducing the KTM Pro-XP program, which provides riders with unique, tailored experiences across Adventure, Offroad and Tarmac. The launch of the global KTM range in India marks the third phase of this successful partnership.
Talking about the launch, Gottfried Neumeister, Co-CEO, KTM AG, shared, “Today marks another milestone in the partnership between KTM and Bajaj Auto as we introduce 10 internationally acclaimed motorcycles across multiple segments, bringing Indian motorcyclists closer to the world of premium, READY TO RACE bikes that KTM is known for. Each model embodies KTM’s spirit of adventure, precision, and unmatched engineering. This moment is pivotal in meeting the rising demand for high-performance bikes and nurturing a vibrant community of biking enthusiasts in India.”

Today’s unveiling of the global KTM range in India marks a bold new chapter in our journey. We’re not only expanding our range but also enhancing our service and experience standards with flagship stores in key cities.
