• The newly launched Discover DTS-Si has been extremely well received; almost 10,000 units were sold since launch on 17th July 2009 and the plan for August 2009 is to double that.

• This combined with the successful launches of the XCD DTS-Si and the new Pulsar 150/180/220 DTS-i has enabled Bajaj to match YoY sales for the first time after the downturn last year.

• Bajaj plans to thus step up its domestic motorcycle production by about 25% in August 2009 in response to the strong demand for all these brands.

• Bajaj expects high double digit motorcycle sales growth here onwards.

• Commercial Vehicle sales and Exports are now on plan.
