In about two months from now, from April 1st, all the automobiles on sale in India will have to conform to the new BS6 norms if they wish to stay on sale. Joining the growing list of manufacturers who are updating their products before the date of implementation, Bajaj Auto Ltd has begun the transition and has launched two BS6 compliant motorcycles, the CT and Platina. Both these bikes come equipped with a unique Electronic Injection (EI) system which helps them to reduce tailpipe emissions considerably.
This unique EI system has been designed by the R&D centre at Bajaj Auto along with leading component partners. The EI system helps in maintaining the high fuel efficiency of Platina and CT while making the engine run smooth. Most importantly, the Bajaj EI system is easy to maintain, ensuring that the transition to the new technology is seamless. The CT BS6 range will continue to offer two engine options, 100cc and 110cc. It gets a stylish addition in the form of a LED DRL along with another new feature, a Bash Plate. Prices for the CT range starts at Rs 40,794 (ex-showroom Delhi), making it the most affordable BS6 range of commuter bikes in the country introduced till date.

With the CT and Platina, our world-class R&D team has enhanced the capabilities of our offerings while ensuring that we meet the stringent BS6 norms so that consumer gets excellent value for their money.”
