Bajaj Freedom CNG Bike Gets Price Slash: Here’s Why It Matters
Bajaj Auto has rolled out a surprise treat for budget-conscious riders: the base model of the Freedom CNG bike now comes at a reduced price of ₹85,967 (ex-showroom), down from ₹90,976. This ₹5,000 limited-time discount makes the Freedom India’s most affordable CNG motorcycle at a time when fuel prices continue to pinch the pockets of daily commuters. However, the higher-end Drum LED and Disc LED variants still retain their prices at ₹95,981 and ₹1,10,976 respectively.
What’s Driving This Price Cut?
The Freedom CNG bike had a solid start when it launched in July 2024, even crossing 30,000 units in October during the festive rush and reaching 50,000 sales by March 2025. But in recent months, sales have hit a speed bump, dropping below 2,000 units per month. Bajaj’s answer? Make the base variant even more tempting to potential buyers.
Fuel-Saving Power Meets Daily Convenience
At the heart of the Freedom is its dual-fuel capability. Riders can toggle between CNG and petrol using a switch on the handlebar. With a 2kg CNG tank and 2-litre petrol tank, the bike offers unmatched flexibility and exceptional mileage. In fact, it claims a jaw-dropping 102 km/kg on CNG and 65 km/l on petrol — which is music to the ears of anyone who rides daily.
Power comes from a 125cc air-cooled engine that delivers 9.3 bhp and 9.7 Nm torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The frame is a strong trellis design, and cleverly integrates the CNG tank inside the rear sub-frame for better weight distribution and styling.
Where the Freedom Truly Fits In
The Bajaj Freedom CNG bike thrives in regions where convenience meets accessibility. Its true potential is unlocked in areas where daily commutes are predictable, fuel costs are a concern, and environmental consciousness is growing. However, the lack of widespread CNG infrastructure in some parts of the country continues to hold back its nationwide acceptance. For now, the Freedom shines brightest in places that are ready to embrace clean, cost-effective commuting.
Smart Offer, Smarter Strategy
This price drop is more than just a discount—it’s a strategic move to boost adoption while the CNG ecosystem slowly spreads across the country. As infrastructure improves and word spreads, Bajaj is positioning the Freedom as a long-term player in India’s urban mobility scene.
Should You Grab One Now?
If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly motorcycle with modern appeal, this might be your best chance. The current offer might not last long, and once the original price returns, you’ll have missed a solid deal.
