According to Bajaj Auto, it is developing a scooter that will compete with the Honda Activa. However, the scooter is virtually two years away from launch.

Rahul Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Auto told reports in Mumbai on Thursday "We are developing a new scooter. It is a couple of years away from launch."

According to Bajaj, the Activa is the most “successful” model in the market currently. He added that "We want to develop a scooter with a USP that is rooted in specific technology,"

Though media reports had indicated that Bajaj's small car with Renault-Nissan is getting delayed, Bajaj was affirmative that the car would be launched in accordance with the schedule in 2011. He was positive that "We continue to work in partnership with Renault-Nissan for the small car,” He elaborated “"We want to position the car strategically so that no global major can make the model. Even if global majors want to make a car such as our's it should be financially not viable for them,"

Bajaj Auto has already started manufacturing bikes from its plant in China. The first shipment of 1,000 of its Chinese made bikes has been shipped to Nigeria via India.
