Bajaj’s future plans
Undeterred by the slowdown and poor sales (or rather bitten by it), Bajaj has drawn up a serious plan to get back to where it belongs-at the top. The home grown manufacturer has drawn up a schedule coming up with a host of launches back to back in the coming year.
The company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr S. Sridhar said, "We are looking to launch a light sports scooter some time next year." We had just got the XCD 135 DTS-Si and following it is the gearless scooter which we reckon is the long overdue Bajaj Blade.The blade will sport an engine in the 100-150cc category and will slot in above the Kristal DTS-i.
