Startups are like upstarts, they end up burning strategy: Rajiv Bajaj

The biggest difference between established brands and many startups and is while the former build strategy, brand, and technology, the latter are more like upstarts that end up burning the same things, Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said on Thursday. "There are three terminologies here. Startup; then there is a word which I like to call most of them, which is upstart. Then us, the winners or the champions," Bajaj said while speaking at the CNBCTV18 Global Leadership Summit here. He said those who enter a market without a strategy are "upstarts" and end up burning everything -- from their brand and technology to products. "Upstarts are those who don't have a build-strategy. They have a burn strategy. They burn technology -- their batteries. They burn brands by reducing price every month. They burn products in their factory, in the trucks, at the dealerships, on the road," he said. On the contrary, he said, "startups are those who have built a strategy. They build technolog

Need to hike provision for deferred tax by Rs 211 cr, says Bajaj Auto

Bajaj Auto Ltd on Monday said it will need to increase its provision for deferred tax by Rs 211 crore due to the withdrawal of indexation benefit and change in the tax rate on long-term capital gains on debt mutual fund. The company invests its surplus funds into a range of asset classes, including debt mutual funds. It was making accounting provisions for deferred tax as per applicable law on fair value gains on these investments, Bajaj Auto said in a regulatory filing. A one-time impact will be made while computing the profit after tax, and reporting the financial results for Q2 of FY25, it added. Bajaj Auto said the Finance (No 2) Act 2024 withdraws the indexation benefit on long-term capital gains on debt mutual funds purchased before 1 April 2023. "Further, the tax rate with respect to long-term capital gains for the said asset class has been changed from 20 per cent plus surcharge and cess (with indexation) to 12.5 per cent plus surcharge and cess (without indexation)," it ..

Working on portfolio of CNG bikes, first launch in FY25: Bajaj Auto

Bajaj Auto is developing a portfolio of CNG motorcycles, and the first such bike will hit the market next fiscal under a new brand, Bajaj Auto Executive Director Rakesh Sharma said on Wednesday. The company wants the government to consider lowering GST on such CNG bikes -- which will serve as a bridge to full electrification -- to around 12 per cent as it seeks to replicate the success it has witnessed in the CNG three-wheelers to the motorcycle segment as well. "We are putting our money where our mouth is. We feel CNG is a great option for the country, for the society and for the riders. We have proven this in three-wheelers and now we want to extend this into two-wheelers," Sharma told PTI in an interview. "It will not be only one vehicle but it will be a range of vehicles across segments. We will fill up the portfolio, we may not present it in one go but the idea is to have a portfolio of CNG motorcycles." Asked about the timeframe for the CNG bikes to hit the roads, he said, "I
