ऐतिहासिक प्रवास आणि उद्योग विस्तार • The Industrial Odyssey
Established in 1926 during India's struggle for independence under the ethical guidance of Mahatma Gandhi, Bajaj Group pioneered mass vehicular mobility for the common citizen. In the 1960s, it established extensive manufacturing at Akurdi and later expanded to the mega-facility at Chakan, turning Pune into the automotive capital of India. From the ubiquitous Chetak that mobilized middle-class India to the high-performance Pulsar and electric platforms exported worldwide, Bajaj redefined Indian manufacturing competitiveness.
