Bajaj Auto registers a 3% increase in sales during July 2025; foreign sales boost driven by domestic sales dip
Bajaj Auto, the Indian multinational automobile manufacturer, has reported a mixed performance in its sales for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025. The company sold 502,386 two-wheelers in the domestic market, marking a 9.95% decline compared to Q2 2024. However, the company's two-wheeler exports soared to a record high of approximately 476,000 units, representing a 16% increase over Q2 2024 [1][2][3].
The decline in domestic sales was mainly due to headwinds in the entry-level segments, but the premium 125cc+ segments showed resilience [1][3]. On the other hand, the surge in export volumes significantly contributed to overall growth.
In a remarkable turn of events, Bajaj Auto's strategic focus on global markets has helped offset the weakness at home [2][3]. The company's robust performance in overseas markets has continued to offset a decline in domestic demand.

The combined total for two-wheelers for the quarter stood around 1.11 million units, combining domestic and exports plus commercial vehicles [3].
