The Bajaj 125cc DTS-Si platform consisting of the XCD 125
DTS-Si and the Platina 125 DTS-Si clocked 39,955 units with
the Platina 125 DTS-Si contributing 11,991 units in its
first month of launch.

Bajaj expects the combined sales from this platform to grow
to 60,000 units / month with the launch of the third new
motorcycle off this platform in December 2008.

Thus Bajaj expects to meet its target of 75,000 units /
month from this platform once the 4th motorcycle is launched
in the next quarter, strengthening Bajaj’s almost 50% market
share amongst 125cc + motorcycles.
