• [By Admin]

  Unlike cars which are mostly bought through loans, three out of four two-wheelers are bought with own cash. Bajaj Auto would thus be able to bypass the interest rate impact as it seeks growth. After the exit of Honda from Hero Honda, the spotlight is on the second largest two-wheeler maker in the country. Investors who are bearish on Hero Honda could shift to Bajaj for the two-wheeler play. Under managing director Rajiv Bajaj, the company is focussing on a stronger product line and growth opportunity in emerging markets.
