Triumph Motorcycles has crossed a major milestone in India, with over 1 lakh motorcycles now on Indian roads. The announcement was made by Bajaj Auto, Triumph’s strategic partner responsible for manufacturing and distribution in the country. The achievement comes almost 2.5 years after the Bajaj-Triumph partnership began in Q2 2023, highlighting the rapid growth of the premium motorcycle brand in the Indian market.
Rapid growth with Bajaj partnership
Since the partnership began, Triumph has significantly expanded its footprint in India by leveraging Bajaj Auto’s manufacturing capabilities, research and development expertise and extensive distribution network.
Today, Triumph’s presence extends to over 200 cities across India, supported by a network of over 230 dealerships and stores. This expansion has helped the brand reach a wider audience of premium motorcycle buyers while maintaining its global brand identity.
Triumph 400 range exported to global markets
Triumph’s 400cc lineup of motorcycles manufactured in India is not only meeting the domestic demand but is also being exported to international markets. Currently, India-made Triumph motorcycles are exported to 18 countries across the world including Japan, Australia, Mexico, Taiwan and South Korea. This global acceptance highlights the competitiveness of the motorcycles produced in India under the Bajaj-Triumph partnership.
Commenting on the milestone, Manik Nangia, President – ProBiking at Bajaj AutoSaid that reaching 1 lakh Triumph motorcycles on Indian roads in just 2.5 years is a proud moment for the company. He said Triumph riders are discerning enthusiasts who appreciate the brand’s engineering and modern classic motorcycles. The company also reiterated its commitment to strengthening the premium motorcycle ecosystem and enhancing engagement with riders across India.
Upcoming Triumph 350cc motorcycles to launch next month
Looking ahead, the Bajaj-Triumph partnership is preparing to further expand its portfolio in India. Recently, Bajaj Auto MD and CEO Rajiv Bajaj confirmed that a new range of Triumph 350cc motorcycles will launch in April 2026. These bikes are expected to complement or potentially replace the existing 400cc lineup in the Indian market, which currently includes models like the Triumph Speed 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400X.
The move comes in response to the revised GST 2.0 taxation structure, under which motorcycles above 350 cc fall in a higher tax bracket. By introducing sub-350 cc capacity motorcycles, Bajaj and Triumph aim to keep pricing competitive while maintaining the brand’s premium positioning in India’s fast-growing mid-capacity motorcycle segment. More details about the new 350cc lineup are expected to be revealed closer to the launch next month.
