  • Bajaj Hikes KTM stake

    Bajaj auto seems a little bullish over its stake in KTM.
    Its Amsterdam based subsidiary, Bajaj auto International Holdings BV, recently picked up another 59,500 shares in KTM Power Sports AG, hiking its equity to 25.86 percent in Austrian bike manufacturer, compared to the 14.5 percent last year when both companies came in to a technology exchange and manufacturing contract.
    MD Rajiv Bajaj has been on the KTM board of directors since last year and both companies are working in synergy to designand manufacture 125cc and 250cc motorcycles in India for sale in Europe as well as the domestic market.

        The Ninja has been delayed far too much already! Indians are always deprived of the best motorcycles as ever! And as for the KTMs god knows what the Bajaj is upto wrt launch dates! And if at all they are going to launch!

            To be frank, I thought Ninja would be released by Diwali time ...

            However Guys, don't lose hope ... so much action happened, I think their launch will occur sooner or later ...

            Reg. Ninja, I STILL think it fears competition from Yamaha. and Indian Market, you know how it is ... For 20 thousand rupees less, one may shift from one 250 to another.

              Bajaj holds the record for delay in launches.. P220 is the best example.. when it was launched after a lot of step-by-step metro launches[ Using Public roads& common man instead of racing tracks & factory riders for testing the new products], it had to face heavy competition.. nowadays, im sure that most of the P220 fans will be converting to the R15s & Apache RTR FIs.. why this delay? why cant they launch the products at the promised time? 2008 is going to be over.. and YAMAHA India wins the year 2008 by miles.. no doubt in that..

                    Coz they offer better value for money thesedays.. P220 is nothing but a good tourer like Zma.. it should have been launched quite earlier..
