The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike was launched a couple of months back, in July. When launched the CNG bike was available in Maharashtra and Gujarat only. Since then the company has been ramping up its manufacturing to make the bike available in more states, getting ready for the festive season. Here’s how the Freedom 125 has performed sales-wise since its launch.
As per reports, the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike has sold over 5,000 units since its launch on July 5, 2024. In July, the CNG bike sold 272 units, 4,109 units were sold in August and 637 units between September 1 and 4. The growth in sales in August was seen as the company made the bike available in 77 towns and cities across India and also major cities like Delhi and Kerala.
The Freedom 125 is available in 3 variants: NG04 Drum costs Rs 94,995, NG04 Drum LED priced at Rs 1,04,998 and NG04 Disc LED at Rs 1,09,997 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). The bike is powered by a 125cc air-cooled engine which can run on either CNG or petrol and produces 9.5PS & 9.7Nm. It is equipped with a 2kg CNG tank and a 2-litre fuel tank. As per our test, mileage was 85km/kg from CNG and 55-56kmpl from petrol, in mixed riding conditions. That would mean a running cost of under 1 Rupee per kilometre when using CNG. It features a first-in-category, mono-linked type suspension, a long seat, LED headlamps, a digital speedometer and Bluetooth connectivity.
Bajaj Auto received over 30,000 inquiries about the bike within the first week of launch from all over India. This surge in interest should be due to the higher mileage and lower running costs than petrol-powered bikes that the bike promises. To meet these growing demands, the company has planned to upscale the manufacturing of the Freedom 125 CNG bike from 10,000 units to 40,000 units. Bajaj will also be actively participating in expanding the CNG infrastructure in the country. They also have plans to export the bike to Bangladesh, Columbia, Egypt, Indonesia, Tanzania and Peru.

- Review after 8k kms usageBaja. Freedom bio is ideal for long commute as it is fuel efficient, low maintenance and economical friendly. Dual fuel adds flexibility although slightly less powered but sufficient for travel without pillion and not much heavy luggage. Ridden 8000 plus kms ok pure CNG, less than 200kms used on petrol, I can say ride on CNG is reliable as Bajaj has been on CNG vehicles like in Auto rickshaw from decades. As said earlier it is slightly less powered but enough for single person travel. I would recommend as the bike itself is easy to ride although it is 148 kg but feels very lightweight while riding. With a great mileage of 90 plus on cng and may be 60 plus on petrol ( coz ridden vert less on petrol)Read More4 4
