Bajaj will not produce any more scooters from now and has decided to concentrate upon developing their bike ranges. “We want to become a motorcycle specialist and do not want to distract ourselves by scooters and mopeds… we cannot get greedy and try to do everything,” Bajaj said. “We are not developing scooters. We have no scooter on the drawing board.”

There are although, apparently not many reasons to continue the scooter segment, says Bajaj Auto. This is because sale of scooters from the company has actually decreased hundreds per month. For motorcycles offer more mileage, apart from style and comfort.

Seems like Baadrinath and Kedarnath  have put some holy mantras over Anil “Smart” Ambani who has reportedly expressed his deepest concerns and desire to be reunited with elder brother Mukesh Ambani for whom he had “maintained the greatest of love, affection and respect for Mukeshbhai,”and put an end to a seemingly perpetual period of “bitterness and rancour” when the two brothers went into a legal war over the distribution of gas and the reorganisation of the Reliance group.

Anil Ambani made the pilgrimages  to the holy shrine “In the hope of seeking divine inspiration and blessings, in trying to heal the wounds, and in making a renewed effort to resolve, reconcile and reciprocate.”

Speaking on the bereaved mother’s condition after the sons parted ways, Anil emphasized the need of the hour to reconciliate with Mukesh to  “gift” peace to his mother, Smt. Kokilaben Ambani, in her 75th year, and “to the legacy of our beloved father, Shri Dhirubhai Ambani, the proud creator of the Reliance Group.”
