Bajaj Auto hikes Pulsar and Platina Prices by 1%.

Recently we saw Hero Motocorp hiking its bike prices by INR 500-1000  to offset rising input costs. Now Country’s second largest two wheeler, Bajaj has hiked its flagship motorcycle Pulsar and entry level motorcycle Platina prices by 1% all over India .
We have seen many automobile companies feeling the brunt of rising input costs.

The main reason behind the rising input costs is inflation , depreciation in Rs. currency and the rising wages of the workers.So for now the primary target of the company is bring down the input cost so that it can price their bikes competitively .Bajaj was willing to hike the prices from quite some time but couldn't do so due to the fierce competition in the entry level segment. Bajaj had recently rolled out the 5 millionth Pulsar and it is quite confident that inspite of the slight price hike it won't affect its sales .

Bajaj Auto has only hiked prices of their strong brands i.e. Platina and Pulsar , the difference in the price of these bikes is shown below.

Pulsar 150cc DTSi old price: Rs. 62,100 (ex-showroom)
Pulsar 150cc DTSi New 2012 Price: Rs. 62,720 (ex-showroom)

Platina 125 old price: Rs. 38,000 (ex-showroom)
Platina 125 New 2012 Price: Rs. 38,380 (ex-showroom)

Bajaj is soon going to roll out an all new Discover and also the most awaited Bike of this year , the Pulsar 200NS. It was scheduled to be launched some where in May but still there has been no official confirmation from Bajaj Auto.
