We are calling on Bajaj Auto and KTM India to stop treating Husqvarna Motorcycles as a corporate afterthought and give Indian motorcyclists the allocation, marketing, and dealership transparency this legendary brand deserves. 

Right now, a quiet tragedy is happening in the Indian automotive space. Husqvarna—a brand with over a century of Swedish racing heritage and some of the most avant-garde, breathtaking motorcycle designs on the planet—is being systematically starved to death in the Indian market.

Motorcycle enthusiasts who walk into authorized KTM/Husqvarna ProBiking showrooms across India today are met with a brick wall. Bookings for the brilliant Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 401 are being quietly refused. Waiting periods are indefinitely frozen. Dealerships are actively asking passionate buyers to cancel their orders.

The most frustrating part? These bikes are built right here in India. The state-of-the-art Chakan plant in Pune manufactures these machines for the entire world, yet Indian riders are left begging for scraps while production lines are prioritized solely for export markets and high-volume KTMs.

This is to,  Rajiv Bajaj (Managing Director, Bajaj Auto), and the Leadership Team of KTM-Husqvarna India.

Why Husqvarna Matters to India
Not every rider wants the aggressive, loud, "Ready to Race" orange aesthetic of a KTM. The Husqvarna lineup offers the exact same mechanical brilliance—the class-leading engines, ultra-premium trellis chassis, and razor-sharp dynamics—wrapped in a mature, minimalist, neo-retro design language that has no equal.

By choking the domestic supply chain, neglecting marketing, and failing to support dealership inventory, corporate restructuring is killing a brand that hasn't even been given a fair chance to fly. In April 2026, domestic sales reportedly hit an all-time low of just 9 units nationwide. This isn’t a failure of the product; it is a failure of corporate will.

Our Demands to Bajaj and KTM India:

1. Commit to Regular Domestic Production Batches: Stop making Indian buyers wait indefinitely for export overflows. Establish a transparent, consistent production allocation specifically for the Indian domestic market.
2. Mandate Dealership Transparency: Enforce a clear, unified system across all KTM ProBiking showrooms so buyers can track live warehouse inventory and receive honest, binding delivery timelines instead of being turned away at the door.
3. Revive the Brand with Active Marketing: Invest in the Husqvarna brand identity in India. Promote the recent generation upgrades, clarify the network presence, and stop treating these machines like hidden secrets in the corner of KTM showrooms.
4. Bring the Full Lineup: Expand the portfolio to include highly anticipated lower-capacity models to make the brand accessible to a wider demographic of young Indian riders.
