Pulsar Sub-Brand Deep-Dive: February 2026 Analysis

The Pulsar franchise continues to be the bedrock of Bajaj Auto’s domestic success, accounting for a massive share of its monthly dispatches. This deep-dive visual examines the internal mix of the Pulsar family, highlighting the performance of each sub-segment.

Key Performance Takeaways:

Pulsar 125 cc (The Volume Engine): Dominates the mix with 58,056 units. While it maintains a healthy 8% YoY growth, it saw a cooling off from January (-13.5% MoM), suggesting a high base effect from the start of the year.
Pulsar 160 + 200 NS (The Growth Driver): This segment is the star performer this month. It nearly doubled its volumes YoY (+96.8%) and was the only major Pulsar sub-brand to post positive Month-on-Month growth (+8.2%), indicating strong pull in the sport-commuter category.
Pulsar 220 cc (The Legend Resurgent): Despite being one of the oldest names in the stable, the 220 cc variant saw a massive 122.5% YoY jump to 8,459 units, proving the "Fastest Indian" still has a loyal cult following.
Pulsar 150 cc (The Struggler): The once-staple 150cc variant is seeing a decline, down 4.3% YoY and facing a sharp 42.5% MoM drop. This suggests consumers are either moving down to the 125cc for value or up to the NS range for performance.
Pulsar NS400z: Still in its early stages/niche category with 352 units, it saw a significant correction from its January numbers (-60.8% MoM), likely due to a stabilization of initial launch dispatches.
