Eric Vas, president for motorcycle business at Bajaj Auto said:
We have the technology and we can rollout our models meeting the new emission norms in four months. We are ready to adhere to any guideline. The expenditure to the company will be negligible as most of the work has to be done by vendors.
In December 2015 government announced that they might jump to BS VI norms by 2020 in a bid to adopt pro-active strategies to reduce pollution.
Eric Vas also said that Bajaj will launch a completely new executive bike in this quarter and also unveil an entry level variant this month.
The new executive bike is currently under development, which will be launched in this quarter. It has taken us a lot of time to reposition the Discover brand and now that we have completed that exercise. We are looking at getting the new executive brand off the ground.
Bajaj Auto is also setting a target to sell 70,000 executive bikes a month in the next 18-24 months, nearly 3.5 times of the 20,000 units it sold a month last year.
