About Freedom
Freedom is a Bajaj Auto motorcycle range built at both the Waluj and Pantnagar plants at the commuter end of the line-up. During the year to March 2026 the Indian government cut GST on motorcycles up to 350cc from 28 to 18 per cent while raising it to 40 per cent above that, a change the company credits with lifting domestic demand across exactly this part of its portfolio.
