Bajaj Auto’s exports continue to power growth as May 2026 volumes have risen by 20 per cent
More than 2.13 lakh vehicles shipped overseas in a single month helped Bajaj Auto post another telling performance in the month of May 2026. While domestic demand remained healthy across both two wheelers and commercial vehicles, exports once again emerged as the biggest contributor to the growth of the Chakan-based manufacturer.
Its total sales climbed to 4,61,257 units in May 2026 compared to 3,84,621 units during the same month last year with a 20 per cent increase. Export volumes rose at a much faster pace than domestic dispatches. As has been the case, the major contribution came from the two wheeler business conducted locally and abroad.
Combined domestic and export sales reached 3,93,204 units last month against 3,32,370 units in May 2025 resulting in an 18 per cent increase. The domestic two wheeler sales alone stood at 2,09,528 units – up 9 per cent from 1,91,412 units recorded a year earlier. Exports recorded a much larger gain as overseas two wheeler shipments increased 30 per cent to 1,83,676 units compared to 1,40,958 units during May 2025.
