Last month, a joint venture between the country’s leading two-wheeler company Bajaj Auto and Switzerland’s sports bike brand KTM achieved the production milestone of one million KTM motorcycles. KTM motorcycles in India are manufactured at Bajaj Auto’s Chakan plant near Pune in Maharashtra. There was a partnership between Bajaj Auto and KTM about 15 years ago. Under this, the production started with the KTM 200 Duke about 10 years ago. Since then the Bajaj Auto plant has become a production hub for KTM for 125-373 cc bikes. A large number of these bikes are sold in India and they are also exported to many countries.
