      Managing director Rajiv Bajaj spoke about the future course for the company.

      Q: 3.5 lakh crossed for September, do you think you will be able to build on that through the festival months?

      I would add that last year September was a big month because it was Dassera month. So while September and October were big months last year for Dessera and Diwali, it will be October and November this time. So, in terms of retail sales, yes, October and November will be ahead of September, but in terms of company sales, perhaps in the same neighborhood.
      Q: By when can you augment capacity a bit because it seems unfortunate that demand is running ahead of what you can produce and you are not able to capitalize on it? By when can you add even a little bit to capacity?
      A: We have managed to do that in terms of motorcycle sales. We were consistently struggling to get to 300,000, we are now reasonably over it. But we are looking to get to about three hundred fifty thousand by January, similarly, to push three wheelers closer to about 45,000.
      We have also got work under way for the next financial year, which is when we would like to take next big step, to an overall company wide capacity of five million motorcycle and three wheelers. We hope to have that in place by end of March.
      Q: What is going on in the export market, you have crossed 1 lakh per month even on exports?
      A: I guess we really make good motorcycles. We have done over 600,000, to be precise, six hundred thirty one thousand vehicles in exports for the first half which is a kind of record for us.
      We started the year hoping to exceed the target of one million units, which would be first for any Indian auto company. I think we are going to do much better than that, as things stand things should be closer to 1.2 million exports for the year.
      Q: Can you just break up that 3.14 lakh motorcycles for the current months for us between models?
      A: Certainly, I would like to because it is not only a highest ever motorcycles sales, it is our highest level sales of the Pulsar brand, which is almost 90,000. It is also our highest level sales for Discover at about 145,000.
      Given the fact that the Discover was launched only in July last year, it is quite a record because the sales of the Discover 100 have in these 14 months exceeded 1 million. I think that would also be a record of sorts. So, both the Pulsar and Discover are at all time highs and the balance of the motorcycle comes almost equally from the Boxer and the Platina.

          Boxer is produced for only exports!! to countries like Nigeria in Africa and it's certainly doing great over there. Was watching a documentary on Nigeria in BBC, couple of days ago.. must say there are scores of Boxers on Nigerian roads.
