Bajaj Auto’s stock hit a record high of Rs 11,779 on September 12, marking its fourth straight day of gains.

The rise follows the Union Cabinet's approval of the PM E-Drive scheme, which will invest Rs 10,900 crore over two years to boost electric vehicle (EV) use in India.

The new scheme includes Rs 3,679 crore in subsidies to promote battery-powered two and three-wheelers, ambulances, trucks, and other electric vehicles.

This announcement has driven a 20 percent increase in Bajaj Auto’s stock over the past month.

Bajaj Auto also reported strong sales for August. The company saw a 16 percent rise in total vehicle sales, including exports, reaching 3.9 lakh units.

Domestic sales grew 24 percent, with 2.53 lakh units sold compared to 2.05 lakh units in the same month last year.

For the current fiscal year, total sales are up 10 percent year-on-year, totaling 18 lakh units, which includes 15 lakh two-wheelers and 2.7 lakh three-wheelers.

The company plans to double its EV distribution network from 500 to 1,000 stores, expecting a big increase in sales of its Chetak electric scooter.

Currently, 42 brokerage houses cover Bajaj Auto stock, with 18 recommending a 'buy,' 10 suggesting a 'hold,' and 14 advising a 'sell.'

At around 10:45 AM, Bajaj Auto shares were trading at Rs 11,732 on the NSE, up 2.8 percent from the previous close.
