&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bajaj scooter.jpg|thumb| [[Bajaj Chetak]] built under license from [[Piaggio]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Bajaj Auto was established on 29 November 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading Corporation Private Limited.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|title=Bajaj Auto Ltd.|work=Business Standard India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/company/bajaj-auto-28074/information/company-history|access-date=8 May 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It initially imported and sold two- and three-wheelers in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In 1959, it obtained a license from the [[Government of India]] to manufacture two-wheelers and three-wheelers and obtained Licence from [[Piaggio]] to manufacture [[Vespa]] Brand Scooters in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It became a [[public limited company]] in 1960.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With the launch of motorcycles in 1986, the company changed its branding from a scooter manufacturer to a two-wheeler manufacturer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Bajaj Auto - A historical analysis- Business News|url=https://www.businesstoday.in/opinion/columns/bajaj-auto--a-historical-analysis-hero-honda/story/225472.html|website=www.businesstoday.in|access-date=8 May 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1984, Bajaj Auto signed a technical assistance agreement with [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]], cooperating to expand production and sales of motorcycles in the local market.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Bajaj Auto ends its partnership with Kawasaki in India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/bajaj-auto-ends-its-partnership-with-kawasaki-in-india/articleshow/57824865.cms|last=Iyer|first=Satyanarayan|date=25 March 2017|work=[[The Times of India]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 2000s, Bajaj Auto bought a controlling stake in the Tempo Firodia company, renaming it &amp;quot;Bajaj Tempo&amp;quot;. Germany&amp;#039;s [[Daimler-Benz]] owned 16% of Bajaj Tempo, but Daimler sold their stake back to the Firodia group. It was agreed that Bajaj Tempo would gradually phase out the use of the &amp;quot;Tempo&amp;quot; brand name, as it still belonged to Mercedes-Benz.&amp;lt;ref name=change&amp;gt;{{cite journal | url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-02-24/india-business/27845035_1_btl-bajaj-tempo-firodias | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130921054339/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-02-24/india-business/27845035_1_btl-bajaj-tempo-firodias | url-status = dead | archive-date = 21 September 2013 | title = Bajaj Tempo will now be Force Motors | date = 24 February 2005 | journal = [[The Times of India]] | access-date = 20 September 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last1=M|first1=Sabarinath|last2=Kalesh|first2=Baiju|date=18 August 2014|title=Bajaj group sells three-fourths of its shares in Force Motors|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/bajaj-group-sells-three-fourths-of-its-shares-in-force-motors/articleshow/40353118.cms?from=mdr|access-date=8 May 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The name of the company was changed to Force Motors in 2005, dropping &amp;quot;Bajaj&amp;quot; as well as &amp;quot;Tempo&amp;quot;, over the objections of Bajaj Auto with whom the company shares a long history as well as a compound wall.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Bajaj-Tempo-will-now-be-Force-Motors/articleshow/1031213.cms | title = Bajaj Tempo will now be Force Motors | date = 24 February 2005 | journal = The Times of India | publisher = TNN | access-date = 18 June 2018 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Bajaj Auto, through its Dutch subsidiary Bajaj Auto International Holding BV, purchased a 14.5% stake of Austrian rival [[KTM]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703712504576234593485365996 | title=Bajaj on Track for Low Cost Car Launch |date=31 March 2011 |work=Wall Street Journal |first=Anirban |last=Chowdhury |access-date=15 January 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; gradually increasing its stake to a 48% non-controlling share by 2020.
