Bajaj Auto has announced that its motorcycles will see a hike of about Rs. 3000 to Rs. 8000 in the on-road prices, starting from September 1, 2018. The hike comes in lieu of the decision to make third party insurance cover mandatory up to five years on new two-wheelers by insurance regulator IRDAI.
