en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bajaj's factory in Manaus, Brazil, has produced 60,400 motorcycles since its launch two years ago, as the Indian manufacturer accelerates its expansion in the market. In the first five months of 2026, Bajaj registered over 15,100 motorcycles in Brazil, equivalent to a 1.5% share of the motorcycle market, a 56% increase from 9,700 units in the same period of 2025, more than triple the 15% growth rate of this segment. To date, Bajaj's cumulative sales in Brazil over three years have reached 61,500 units.
The Manaus factory, which invested $12 million and operates using completely knocked down (CKD) kits imported from Asia, is Bajaj's first factory outside India. The factory initially had an annual production capacity of 20,000 units, which was increased to 48,000 units after an additional $10 million investment last year. Currently, the factory employs a total of 250 direct and indirect workers, responsible for kit preparation, engine assembly, motorcycle assembly, quality control, packaging, and shipping. Bajaj had previously established a production partnership with Dafra in December 2022.
The Manaus factory currently assembles models such as the Dominar 400, NS400Z, 250, NS200, NS160, and Pulsar N150, with the Dominar 400 leading in both sales and production volume. Products enter the market through 74 sales points and dealerships. Thanks to the expansion of its dealer network, diversification of product offerings, and accelerated production, Bajaj has risen to 6th place in the ranking of the Brazilian Association of Automotive Vehicle Dealers (Fenabrave), which brings together 21 brands.
Waldyr Ferreira, General Manager of Bajaj Brazil, stated that producing over 60,000 domestically manufactured motorcycles indicates the company is on the right track.
