BikeWo Green Tech is aiming to expand its operating fleet to approximately 10,000 vehicles during FY2026-27, supported by a preferential warrant issue of more than INR 760 million.

The expansion forms part of a corporate transition from vehicle sales and distribution toward electric vehicle asset ownership, fleet operations, leasing and logistics technology, operating under the initiative name BikeWo Ascend.

As part of this strategy, BikeWo has secured agreements with Reliance Industries’ Bio Energy Division to supply and deploy electric tractors fitted with loader, catcher and grabber equipment, along with vehicle operation and driver services. The contracts hold an estimated total value of INR 66.4 million, with validity extending through July 2033 for use in biomass-handling and bio-energy operations.

Hiten Pal Saklani, CEO, BikeWo Green Tech, said, "For us, BikeWo Ascend is about building a much larger business around electric mobility. We started with vehicles, but we see a significantly bigger opportunity in the infrastructure, operations and technology that enable those vehicles to deliver value. Our engagement in the bio-energy sector is an encouraging example of how specialised electric mobility can find applications beyond conventional transportation."

The business model covers mid-mile, last-mile and long-mile commercial transport, alongside enterprise fleet management and charging infrastructure. To support the operational shift, BikeWo has named Sumanth Badiga, an executive with 30 years of experience in the automotive sector, to its Advisory Board.

"Scale for us is not simply about putting more vehicles on the road. It is about building the operating capability around those vehicles. We want to create a platform that can bring together the right assets, partners, technology and operating capabilities for different mobility requirements. As we expand across India, that is the business we are focused on building," added Saklani.

The company is listed on the National Stock Exchange under the ticker BIKEWO and plans to establish further operating partnerships across energy, logistics and technology sectors to support its fleet operations across India.

Bajaj Auto Ltd. has unveiled a new television commercial for the all-new Pulsar 150, marking 25 years of a motorcycle and advertising legacy that helped establish India’s sports motorcycling segment. Ogilvy conceptualised the film as a sequel to Pulsar’s iconic launch campaign, considered one of the firsts in advertising history.

The narrative revisits two nurses who, a quarter-century later, encounter something familiar beneath a white sheet, sparking déjà vu that transports them to their original encounter before the new Pulsar 150 is revealed. Retaining the original’s energy and tempo, the sequel brings the story into the present.

Pulsar’s 2001 arrival reshaped perceptions of what a motorcycle could represent, injecting performance, attitude and excitement into a category dominated by everyday mobility. With over 20 million units sold globally, Pulsar has become a worldwide performance brand, driven by the ‘Definitely Daring’ ethos that has defined it from the start.

Sumeet Narang, President – Marketing, Bajaj Auto Ltd., said, “Pulsar has always stood for an attitude that goes beyond the motorcycle itself. Over the years, that attitude has evolved with the riders, the category and the brand, but its essence remains ‘Definitely Daring’. This campaign gives us an opportunity to celebrate that journey in a way that feels relevant today, with the all-new Pulsar 150 representing the next expression of that spirit.”

Sukesh Nayak, Group Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India, said, “Creating the next chapter of a film that is so deeply remembered presents a very different creative challenge. The audience already knows the setup, so the opportunity was to use that familiarity to build anticipation and then surprise them with where the film goes. The visual cues and rhythm create that instant recognition, while the new turn in the story keeps it firmly rooted in the present.”
