Will Bajaj Auto Regain Its Domestic Market Share Despite Export Strength?
About Bajaj Auto
Bajaj Auto is India’s leading two-wheeler and three-wheeler manufacturer with a strong presence in both domestic and export markets. The company has consistently focused on product innovation, premiumisation, and expanding global distribution channels. However, recent results show a mixed performance between domestic and export segments.
Brokerages remain divided. Jefferies maintained a ‘Hold’ rating and raised the target price to ₹9,200, while BofA Securities maintained a ‘Neutral’ stance with a reduced target of ₹9,300. Both firms remain optimistic about exports and three-wheeler demand but highlight the need for domestic market share recovery.
Financial Highlights (Q2 FY26)
| Metric | Q2 FY26 | YoY | QoQ |

| EBITDA Margin | 19.5% | +40 bps | Stable |
| PAT | ₹2,135 Cr | +13% | +5% |
| Exports Growth | Strong Recovery | +15% | +8% |
Revenue ₹11,045 Cr reflects steady export momentum and healthy demand for three-wheelers. EBITDA margin 19.5% remains resilient despite muted domestic sales. PAT ₹2,135 Cr signals robust profitability with well-controlled costs and forex benefits.
Both Jefferies and BofA highlight that 2-wheeler demand in India remains structurally strong, with an expected 10% CAGR during FY25–FY28, providing a long-term support to Bajaj Auto’s growth thesis.
