But, of late, due to decline in the scooters volume due to shift in consumer preferences, the company has been shifting its focus towards the other high growth segments in the two wheelers. The business mix of Bajaj is constantly changing in line with the changing trends in the two-wheeler market. Now it is is looking towards the motorcycles segment which is expected to witness high growth rates in the future. It is trying hard to cope with the new trends. The unfavorable sales mix due to shift in the consumer preferences from scooters to motorcycles and from step-thrus to scooterettes was instrumental in lowering the margins for Bajaj Auto. To tackle the growing competition and shift in the consumer preferences, Bajaj is entering aggressively into the motorcycles segment to improve its topline growth.

Since then, the customer preferences have changed in favour of motorcycles and gearless scooterettes that score higher on technology, fuel economy and aesthetic appeal, at the expense of metal-bodied geared scooters and mopeds. These changes in customer preferences have had an impact on fortunes of the players.

INTRODUCTION BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INDIAN TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY: In the 50s the two wheeler segment was largely dominated by Automobile Products of India (API) and Enfield. Later on towards the end of the 50s Bajaj Autos began importing Vespa scooters from the Italian company Piaggio. In the following decades, the automobile industry in India was mainly dominated by scooters with API and later Bajaj dominating the market. There were very few products and choices available as far as motorcycle is concerned and Enfield bullet and Rajdoot dominated the market. The 80s saw the entry of Japanese companies in the Indian market with the opening up of the market to foreign companies. Hero Honda and TVS Suzuki are companies formed in this era of market reform.

The Japanese companies not only collaborated with Indian companies to produce the already existing products but also brought in new technology as a result of which the ever conquering 100cc bikes which were extremely fuel efficient with 4 stroke engines were launched in India.
