Bajaj Auto has been quite busy in expanding its product line up in the Indian market. In the last few months, the Pune-based bikemaker rolled out a handful of new models including new Pulsar NS200 ABS, Platina Comfortec and CT100 ES. The company had announced its plan to bring in seven new models by the end of this year. Bajaj also aims to foray into electric bike segment by 2020.
Besides this, the company is also testing the 2017 Bajaj Boxer X150 motorcycle in the country. Recently, a prototype of the Boxer X150 has been recently snapped around Lonavala and Pune. However, there is no clarity whether bike will be launched in India or not. Since its India’s most exported two-wheeler, it could be tested for new components.

Launched at Rs 43,000, the BM 150 was the most affordable 150cc commuter from the Pune-based bikemaker that served the rural markets. However, the sliding demand of the bike forced the company to phase it out within a year of its arrival in the country. Read – Bajaj Dominar 400 – All You Need To Know
