A Decade of Growth and Expansion in India with Bajaj Auto
Over the past decade, KTM has significantly expanded its footprint in India through its strategic partnership with Bajaj Auto, marked by two distinct growth phases. Beginning in 2012, KTM introduced a comprehensive lineup of premium motorcycles in the 200cc to 390cc range, featuring both Naked and Supersport models, while establishing a widespread sales and service network. In 2020, the brand further diversified its offerings by launching specialized models like the KTM ADVENTURE range and introducing the KTM Pro-XP program, which provides riders with unique, tailored experiences across Adventure, off-road and Tarmac. The launch of the global KTM range in India marks the third phase of this successful partnership.
