Bajaj V15 clocks 1 lakh sales in four months

Bajaj Auto Ltd. has sold 1 lakh units of its latest commuter motorcycle, the V15. The Bajaj V15 was launched in the month of March 2016, and has thus achieved this sales milestone within four months from its launch date.

Bajaj has used the steel from the INS Vikrant, India's legendary warship, to fabricate the fuel tank of the bike. This has proved to be a selling point for the new commuter bike, which has thus managed to clock 31,848 units in May, and 26,482 units in June.

The Bajaj V15 is powered by a 149.5 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, DTS-i engine, that develops 12 BHP and 13 Nm of torque, while being mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It is currently priced at Rs. 62,002 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

After success of the V15, Bajaj is also working on two new models for the V range. The company will also ramp up production of the V15 from September 2016, to meet the rising demand.
