The HF Deluxe, on the other hand, finished in the second position but did not register a big sales decline as its Splendor sibling.

The recently launched Bajaj Pulsar 125 is expected to shake up the proceedings in the coming months and it could help in the brand’s sales revival along with other models within the Pulsar range.

Bajaj’s CT100 finished eighth ahead of Royal Enfield Classic 350, which endured another difficult month with 33.1 per cent sales decline, and Honda CB Unicorn last month.
