Bajaj Auto is expected to soon refresh its 125-160cc lineup in India. Current models in this range include the Freedom 125 CNG and the Pulsar series; the move is seen as an effort to strengthen competitiveness in this volume segment.
The 125-160cc range looks unremarkable, but it's actually the band where a manufacturer's engineering is tested the hardest — how you thread the needle between cost and performance. If Bajaj's updating this including the Pulsar and Freedom 125 CNG, I can't wait to pick apart the internals through the specs.

This class is mostly for commuting, but in Southeast Asia it's an important everyday ride.
First time hearing of a CNG-spec motorcycle, wonder what the tank setup looks like.
It should have a dedicated high-pressure tank onboard, and some models can even run alongside gasoline.
125-160cc is right around the line between Class 2 moped and small motorcycle in Japan.
Never heard of the Freedom 125 CNG before, but I guess there's real demand for it in India.
India's got a lot of CNG stations, so apparently it's a perfectly viable option there.
Reinforcing the volume segment matters most since that's where the bulk of sales come from.
If you're thinking about Pulsar's rivals, the Hero Xtreme is probably the main competitor.
