Author’s Corner
My uncle owned a Bajaj Platina for nearly 15 years, and it was his favorite bike. When I once asked him why he loved it so much, he simply said: “The mileage and low maintenance made it unbeatable for me.”
The Platina vs Splendor debate was always there. No doubt, Splendor has a stronger body, but when it came to mileage, Platina always won — which made it a balanced rivalry.
But now, with Splendor moving towards electric models and Platina being linked with a CNG version, this rivalry may not remain the same anymore.

Real Fact Check: Is Bajaj Platina CNG Really Launched?
Here’s the truth:
- Bajaj has NOT officially launched a Bajaj Platina CNG bike in India
- There is no official listing on Bajaj’s website
- Viral articles claiming EMI offers, GPS, Bluetooth, LCD, dual-fuel switching are not verified
However — Bajaj has tested CNG bikes before and even launched Bajaj Freedom 125, which is India’s first mass-market CNG bike.
So the concept is real, but the viral “Platina CNG launch” claims are fake or exaggerated.
Bajaj Platina CNG Bike Features (Expected – Not Confirmed)
These are expected / rumored, not official:
- CNG + Petrol dual-fuel system
- Expected smart digital console
- Eco mode indicator
- USB charging port
- Lightweight commuter frame
⚠️ These are not officially confirmed by Bajaj.
Bajaj Platina CNG Bike Price (Expected)
Since there’s no official launch, these are market expectations only:
| Variant | Expected Ex-Showroom Price |
|---|---|
| Platina CNG 100 | ₹80,000 – ₹85,000 |
| Platina CNG 110 | ₹85,000 – ₹95,000 |
| Platina CNG 125 | ₹95,000 – ₹1,10,000 |
Bajaj Platina CNG On-Road Price (Expected)
| City Type | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Metro Cities | ₹95,000 – ₹1.20 lakh |
| Tier-2 Cities | ₹90,000 – ₹1.10 lakh |
Bajaj Platina CNG Mileage – Realistic Truth
Since the bike isn’t launched, mileage is still estimated only:
| Fuel Mode | Expected Mileage |
|---|---|
| CNG | 85–95 km/kg |
| Petrol | 65–75 km/l |
This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient commuter bikes if launched.
Splendor vs Platina CNG – Rivalry Ends?
With Hero pushing electric versions of Splendor and Bajaj testing CNG tech, the legendary Splendor vs Platina battle may soon disappear.
Future rivalry will likely be:
- Electric commuter bikes
- CNG commuter bikes
Not petrol anymore.
🇺🇸 U.S. Market Possibility
CNG motorcycles have very low demand in the U.S. market, because electric bikes dominate the eco-mobility trend there.
If Bajaj ever exports a CNG bike, it will mainly focus on:
- Budget delivery bikes
- City fleet usage
Not personal use.
💭 Author’s Opinion Box
Personally, the Bajaj Platina CNG story feels more like hope and hype than reality right now.
The concept makes sense, especially for middle-class Indian riders who want high mileage and low running costs.
But until Bajaj makes an official announcement, this remains a future possibility, not a present reality.
Conclusion
Right now, Bajaj Platina CNG is not officially launched.
Most viral articles are exaggerating or guessing.
If Bajaj really brings this bike, it could change the daily-commuter market in India.
