Initially, the team behind Bajaj V is planning to produce nearly 20,000 units per month; the number can be changed depending on the future demand of the bike. Its production will begin on February 5, 2016 and shipment is expected to start sometime in March. Anyone who wants to buy this remarkable INS Vikrant motorcycle have to spend cash between Rs. 60,000 – 70,000 (approx. US $883 – 1,030).
