The launch of the two models, made in partnership with UK's Triumph Motorcycles, sent Bajaj Auto shares to a record high of 4,900 rupees. The Triumph Speed 400 will be priced at 233,000 rupees ($2,834), Bajaj Auto said, but did not disclose a price for the Scrambler 400X. Bajaj will oversee the production and distribution of these bikes as part of the partnership, the two companies had said in April. With the entry of Bajaj and Hero in the premium bike space, analysts see stiff competition, loss of market share and growth concerns for Eicher. Hero MotoCorp's shares closed up 4.2%, nearly matching their 4.5% jump on Tuesday, while Bajaj Auto's shares have gained roughly 6% in the past two days.

BENGALURU, April 26 (Reuters) - Indian non-bank lender Bajaj Finance Ltd's (BJFN.NS) fourth-quarter profit beat estimates on Wednesday, led by strong customer addition on the back of demand for loans. Consolidated net profit rose 30.5% to 31.58 billion rupees ($386.4 million) for the quarter ended March 31, beating analysts' expectations of 30.93 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data. The company's customers increased by about 3.1 million in the fourth quarter, it said earlier this month. Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and paid on deposits, rose 28% to 77.71 billion rupees, while interest income jumped 33.6% year-on-year.

Bajaj Auto did not respond immediately to Reuters' request for comment on the Economic Times (ET) report, which said that the cut would reflect pressure in Nigeria, its largest export market. Bajaj Auto is likely to produce 250,000-270,000 units in March, ET reported, citing multiple people aware of the production plans. That's lower than its average monthly production of 338,000 units in the first nine months of FY 2023, the report added. The report did not specify how many units each of the two- and three-wheelers Bajaj Auto was likely to produce. They had risen 11.3% in 2022, against a 15.31% rise in the Nifty auto index (.NIFTYAUTO).
