Bajaj has partnered with KTM AG of Austria, which has helped KTM become the largest manufacturer of premium sports motorcycles. Both companies jointly develop bikes for global markets like the USA and Japan. The company has also forged a strategic alliance with Triumph UK.

Bikes made by the Bajaj-Triumph alliance will be built at a new manufacturing facility at Chakan that is expected to be operational in 2022. They will have 98-99% local content. Bajaj will be responsible for the Indian market and some export markets including neighbouring countries, Asia and Africa among others. Prices of the new range of bikes will start from under Rs. 2 lakh in India.
