Sales also improved 10% sequentially compared with 5.38 lakh units in September 2026. Domestic commercial vehicle sales recorded particularly strong growth, increasing 22.2% year on year. The October performance reflected improvements across both vehicle categories, with domestic sales providing the primary contribution to sequential growth, while exports maintained positive year-on-year momentum despite a marginal month-on-month decline.

Domestic sales increased 19.4% sequentially to 3.51 lakh units in October 2026 from 2.94 lakh units in September. On a year-on-year basis, domestic volumes grew 11.8%, reversing the 9% decline recorded in September. Exports totalled 2.41 lakh units, representing an 18% increase from 2.04 lakh units in October 2025. However, export volumes declined 1.3% sequentially from 2.44 lakh units in September, while the year-on-year growth rate moderated from 32% in the previous month.

On a sequential basis, domestic two-wheeler volumes increased 22% from 2.40 lakh units. The improvement in domestic demand contributed significantly to the overall monthly increase in two-wheeler dispatches.

Two-wheeler exports amounted to 2.08 lakh units in October 2026, growing 18.5% year on year from 1.76 lakh units. However, volumes declined 1.7% sequentially from 2.12 lakh units in September. Despite the month-on-month moderation, exports remained an important component of the company's two-wheeler business. The difference between domestic and export performance also reflected a shift in the composition of monthly dispatches, with stronger sequential domestic volumes partly offsetting the marginal reduction in overseas shipments.

Commercial vehicle sales reached 0.91 lakh units in October 2026, representing a 19.5% year-on-year increase from 0.76 lakh units and a 4.2% sequential improvement from 0.87 lakh units in September.

Industry Impact & Outlook

Bajaj Auto's October 2026 performance highlights the importance of both domestic demand recovery and export growth in supporting overall automotive sales. The 19.4% sequential increase in domestic volumes, alongside positive year-on-year growth across two-wheelers and commercial vehicles, indicates an improvement compared with September's domestic sales performance. Meanwhile, the 42% cumulative export growth demonstrates the significant contribution of international markets to the company's April-October expansion. The fact that cumulative two-wheeler exports exceeded domestic two-wheeler sales also highlights the scale of overseas demand within the business. Commercial vehicles delivered particularly strong domestic year-on-year growth in October, while cumulative export growth remained ahead of domestic growth in the segment.
