First the name and now the launch! VS400 has been a mystery since long! And to this mystery, there is another chapter which says that the launch for the VS400 has been delayed. The reason of the delay is the upcoming festive rush as told by Mr S Ravikumar, President, Business Development, Bajaj Auto in an interview to MoneyControl.
This is really astonishing for all those who have been waiting for the launch as Mr Rajiv Bajaj, had earlier confirmed the launch of bike in August. And even before that, Mr Ravikumar had promised of July-September quarter for the launch. But now the bike isn’t going to launch in October! Undoubtedly, the Diwali season is the time for bumper sales in India with most manufacturers trying to target major launches for a good start. But Bajaj seems to have other plans and maybe find it difficult to get a good early start.
According to Mr S Ravikumar, President, Business Development, Bajaj Auto:
“Number one is this festival, the entire industry is looking at a good set of numbers and there is a lot of activity which is happening there in the supply chain and the factories and we thought that this is very important. So, we are now concentrating deliberately by design. We have pushed the Pulsar launch to a later date, exact date we will announce a bit later, but right now, this and next month, we are going to be concentrating on feeding the festive demand.”
