Bajaj Auto has revealed plans to launch its first electric motorcycle in India by FY28 (fiscal year 2028). Exports to global markets from its Pune plant are also planned, marking the company's full-scale entry into two-wheeler electrification.
Hearing Bajaj's first electric motorcycle, I can't help but wonder how the internals get built. How do they carry over the electric know-how from their three-wheelers and the Chetak into a two-wheeler? If it's designed export-first, it should be built with an eye on regulations in various countries too, and just imagining that packaging gets me fired up.

What's the difference from the Chetak? Isn't that a motorcycle too?
The Chetak is a scooter, while this one falls under the geared-motorcycle category, I think.
An electric motorcycle out of India sounds like it'd have real price competitiveness, looking forward to it.
Building it for export straight out of the Pune plant means they're planning serious production volume.
TVS and Hero MotoCorp are getting into electric bikes too, so competition's going to heat up.
FY28 is still a ways off—hope it doesn't end up as just a plan that falls through.
Indian manufacturers have this image of going from announcement to actual production surprisingly fast.
Bajaj already has the Chetak electric scooter, but this would be their first electric motorcycle.
