Bajaj says it received over 30,000 inquiries from across India in the first week of launch, prompting the bike maker to accelerate the nationwide expansion of the Freedom CNG motorcycle. The world-first offering packs a 125 cc two-valve, single-cylinder engine that runs on CNG with a 2 kg cylinder placed under the seat, while there's a 2-litre petrol tank as a limp-home feature.

Bajaj claims a cost reduction of nearly 50 per cent in running costs with the Freedom CNG. The company promises a combined range of 330 km on CNG and petrol, while we managed to achieve about 280 km in our test cycle. Owners with a more sedate riding style will be able to achieve higher efficiencies in both petrol and CNG modes. Speaking of which, the bike allows you to switch from CNG to petrol and vice versa on the fly, using a switch on the left switch cube.

Speaking about expanding sales to Delhi, Sarang Kanade, President, Motorcycles -Bajaj Auto, “We received an overwhelming response from our customers and are committed to making the Bajaj Freedom 125 accessible to as many Indians as possible. After Maharashtra, Gujarat and Kerala, to celebrate our nation's 77th Independence Day, we're expanding availability to 77 towns, with a launch today in the Delhi NCR region. The Freedom 125 not only addresses rising fuel costs but also supports our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of transportation."
