Bajaj Auto shares rise 3% after August sales jump 28% YoY

Bajaj Auto share price gained as much as 2.80% during Tuesday’s trading session, touching an intraday high of Rs 12,470, after the two- and three-wheeler major reported a strong sales performance for August 2026.

The stock’s upward move followed Bajaj Auto's report of a 28% year-on-year jump in total sales, with exports emerging as a key growth engine. The strong monthly numbers also come as the stock continues its recent upward momentum.

Bajaj Auto sold a total of 5,35,764 units in August 2026, compared with 4,17,616 units in the same month last year, marking a 28% year-on-year increase.


Two-wheeler sales were particularly strong, rising 30% to 4,43,748 units from 3,41,887 units in August 2025.

The key highlight was the sharp rise in exports. While domestic two-wheeler sales increased 10% to 2,01,898 units, exports surged 53% to 2,41,850 units, underscoring the growing contribution of overseas markets to Bajaj Auto’s overall sales performance.

The company’s commercial vehicle segment also maintained healthy momentum. Commercial vehicle sales rose 22% to 92,016 units, supported by an 11% increase in domestic sales and a stronger 39% growth in exports.

Bajaj Auto’s strong performance was not limited to August. For the April-August 2026 period, the company sold 24,48,692 units, compared with 18,94,853 units during the corresponding period last year.

This represents a robust 29% year-on-year increase in year-to-date sales, indicating sustained demand across both domestic and international markets.
