KTM Co-Owner Bajaj Auto Signs €566m Loan Before Funding Deadline

  • Bajaj Auto’s fully owned European subsidiary secured a €566 million loan this week to assist with financial measures involving KTM AG in Austria.
  • This loan follows KTM's November 2024 bankruptcy caused by heavy debt from MV Agusta acquisition and MotoGP investments amid declining European demand.
  • Bajaj Auto holds a 49.9% stake in the Pierer Bajaj joint venture which controls KTM's parent, and has invested over €200 million since KTM's financial troubles began.
  • Bajaj stated its subsidiary is in negotiations and exploring alternatives to participate in KTM's restructuring under a creditor-approved plan requiring €548 million by May 23.
  • The loan and ongoing talks suggest Bajaj aims to help avert KTM's liquidation, but it remains unclear if Bajaj will seek majority control or involve outside investors.
