Bajaj Auto has confirmed plans to launch two all-new Pulsar models in the 125cc and 150cc segments in the coming weeks in India, alongside a broader update to its 125–160cc motorcycle range and additional Chetak electric scooter variants. According to the company, these launches will complete a major portfolio refresh and "open up new segments" in its core commuter category.
What Bajaj is changing in India
- Bajaj will roll out around 10 new two-wheelers over six weeks, including the new Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150.
- The upcoming Pulsars are described as next-generation models, with the Pulsar 125 already spotted testing multiple times in India.
- Bajaj is also expanding its annual production capacity from about 7.2 million to over 9 million units, mainly for electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers and premium motorcycles.
This shift is aligned with Bajaj’s strategy to focus on the 125cc-plus motorcycle segment, Chetak EV growth and exports, backed by strong financial performance in FY27 Q1.
Nepal angle: why these Pulsars matter here
Bajaj Pulsar is one of the most visible motorcycle brands on Nepali roads, especially in the 125–150cc commuter segment, imported mainly from India via authorized dealers. Any major update to the Pulsar lineup in India typically reaches Nepal with a short lag, often around the next festive season or the following fiscal year, depending on homologation and supply.
For Nepali buyers, the key implications are:
- Future model upgrades: Current Pulsar 125 and 150 sold in Nepal are expected to be replaced or supplemented by these new-generation models once Bajaj stabilizes production and export allocation.
- Possible price adjustments: With new designs and features, ex-showroom prices in India could move up slightly. Converted to Nepali pricing after import duty and taxes, that could mean roughly Rs 2–3 lakh bracket for Pulsar 125 and around Rs 2.5–3.5 lakh for Pulsar 150, depending on trim, according to typical current market levels.
- Feature trickle-down: If Bajaj adds more modern equipment in India (digital consoles, better suspension, improved mileage tuning), the same specs are likely to reach Nepal, making the Pulsar range more competitive against rivals from Honda, TVS and Hero.
Impact on supply and waiting periods
The planned 25%-plus capacity expansion is positive for Nepal’s importers. A higher production base in India should help reduce supply bottlenecks for popular commuter bikes and EVs, potentially shortening waiting periods during peak Nepali buying seasons like Dashain–Tihar.
However, Bajaj has not yet announced exact Nepal launch timelines or detailed specifications for the new Pulsar 125 and 150. For now, Nepali buyers can expect the present models to continue, with new-generation Pulsars likely to arrive after their Indian introduction, once dealers adjust inventory and pricing.
For Nepal AutoMart users, this development is worth tracking: the next wave of Pulsar 125 and 150 could redefine the value equation in the country’s most important motorcycle segment.
