After successfully demonstrating the CNG technology in three-wheelers, leading automobile manufacturer Bajaj Auto Ltd is extending it to two wheelers with a planned launch within this month.

"We are on schedule for a CNG two-wheeler. Something in this line will be launched this month," Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, Bajaj Auto Ltd said.

He, however, declined to specify whether it would be a motorcycle or a scooter, besides the engine capacity as well as possible price points.

BAL's foray into the CNG two-wheeler category will mark a new chapter after it had proved its mastery of the technology in the three-wheeler category.

Bajaj also said that the company has developed a direct injection two-stroke three-wheeler and about 50 of them are running on the Pune roads on a pilot project.

Asked if that technology could also be extended to two wheelers, he said it was premature to comment. BAL had earlier said the company was developing dual fuel three wheelers, which will use an alternate fuel besides CNG/LPG.
