Bajaj Auto Reports 5% Sales Growth in September Amid Declining Domestic Demand
Bajaj Auto reported a 5 percent year-on-year increase in total sales for September 2026, reaching 538,443 units, driven mainly by a 32-34 percent rise in exports. Domestic sales declined by 9 percent overall, with two-wheeler domestic sales falling 12 percent despite a 5 percent rise in total two-wheeler sales. Commercial vehicle sales grew 9 percent year-on-year. Despite the sales growth, Bajaj Auto's shares fell 6-8 percent due to weaker-than-expected domestic demand and sales below market forecasts.
