For Bajaj, the collaboration will help better brand positioning, perception, design and development technology. It will also enhance the quality, cost competitiveness and worldwide distribution for both the brands. At the moment, the brands are not willing to outline the specifics of the partnership.
Bajaj is also optimistic about bringing the Husqvarna brand in India. Positioned above KTM, Bajaj is confident that the Swedish brand will gain a bigger traction than KTM. In the commuter segment, Bajaj will launch a new variant under the V range in the festive season, which would in turn aid in sales numbers.
