Bajaj Auto Ltd is shifting gears after a record quarter, unveiling plans to launch a new Chetak electric platform within months and fast-track its acquisition of Austrian premium motorcycle maker KTM.

The moves come on the back of a record 53% year-on-year jump in net profit to ₹2,122 crore for the September quarter, as revenue rose 20% to ₹16,310 crore, driven by strong overseas sales and rising demand for premium mobikes of over 125cc.

The robust performance came despite a production setback in July-August, caused by a shortage of rare earth magnets used in its electric vehicles, which account for about a fifth of Bajaj’s revenue.
