When did Bajaj start making scooters?

           Bajaj started taking India on its wheels in the 1940s. This brand is more than 60 years old and the scooters and bikes that it gave Indians are remembered with nostalgia. When Jamnalal Bajaj started the company, it was known as Bachraj Trading Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

           Initially, Bajaj sold imported two- and three- wheelers. The company began making scooters of its own in the 1960s. Chetak, Bajaj’s first indigenous brand came out in the 70s. Designed much like Vespa, this scooter was low-priced and people loved it. Soon, the name Bajaj became synonymous with scooters. Bajaj started making motorcycles in the mid-80s. It now produces a range of motorcycles in almost all segments with distinct body designs like Platina, Discover, Pulsar, Avenger and Ninja. Bajaj is one of the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturers now. The company also produces three-wheelers.
