Bajaj Auto Exclusive: Supply chain issues resolved, October sales to be better, says Joint MD Rakesh Sharma - CNBC TV18
Bajaj Auto says its supply chain problems are now fixed, so October sales should look better than September. A 40,000-unit production shortfall last month came from component delays and shipping issues. Demand before the festive season stays strong. Export numbers are mixed: Nigeria improved, Latin America and Africa are growing, while the Middle East, North Africa, Nepal and Bangladesh stay weak.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Joint Managing Director Rakesh Sharma said September's 40,000-unit production shortfall was entirely due to component delays and shipping constraints.
- September sales in Nigeria reached 35,000 to 37,000 units, compared with the earlier monthly run-rate of 30,000.
- Latin America and Africa are growing fast, the Middle East and North Africa stay negative, and Asia is mixed with the Philippines and Sri Lanka doing well.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business depends on Bajaj Auto vehicles or spare parts, speak to your dealer or supplier about festive-season stock and delivery timelines, since the company expects supply to improve in October.
