1. Bajaj domestic motorcycle sales continued to rise for the 4th consecutive month since the launch of the Bajaj XCD 135 in February 2009; the XCD sold about 20,000 units in May 2009.

2. The new Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180 have been very well received, and consequently the production of the Pulsars is being progressively increased to 50,000 units per month.

3. Aiding this volume build-up would be the launch of the fastest Pulsar yet in June 2009, also expected to be the fastest motorcycle made in India.

4. Stagnant commercial vehicle sales continue to reflect subdued economic conditions.

5. Exports have almost normalized after the dip in January-March 2009 and are expected to gradually exhibit positive year-on-year growth.
