I’ve been following Bajaj Auto for years now, and what happened in July 2025 reminded me of just how unpredictable the auto market can be. At first glance, a 3 percent growth might sound like a whisper but beneath the surface, there’s a lot more noise. And most of it’s coming from outside India.
Let’s break it down
Bajaj Auto Sales hit 366,000 units this July. That’s up from 354,169 a year ago. On paper, it’s a win. But what really caught my attention? The export numbers.
Exports jumped a massive 28 percent. Imagine that, 182,857 vehicles shipped out to international markets. The two-wheelers alone saw a 22 percent export boost. Even more impressive, the commercial vehicles export numbers almost doubled with a 79 percent rise.
Meanwhile, back home, things weren’t as rosy. Domestic sales slipped 13 percent, dragged down by an 18 percent fall in two-wheeler demand. The only relief was a 4 percent rise in domestic commercial vehicle sales.
From April to July 2025, the story remains the same. Exports strong, domestic demand soft. Bajaj’s global push is clearly paying off.

For me, the biggest takeaway isn’t just the 3 percent rise. It’s how Bajaj Auto is quietly shifting gears, leaning into international growth to keep moving forward.
