The refinancing loan agreement has been granted by an international banking consortium and carries a total volume of 550 million euro. The loan is unsecured, has a 5-year term, and bears interest in the low to mid-single-digit percentage range. During the loan term, KTM AG will be subject to market-standard restrictions on dividend distributions.
The refinancing comes after a tumultuous year for KTM AG, which filed for insolvency after facing severe financial difficulties. In February 2025, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer’s restructuring plan was approved, requiring it to pay 30 percent of its total debt to 2,500 creditors, amounting to 548 million euro (approximately Rs 5,870 crore), by May 23, 2025. Bajaj Auto stepped in to rescue the Austrian brand from insolvency, providing a 450 million euro loan in May 2025 through its subsidiary Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V.
Following the financial crisis, Bajaj Auto moved from being a minority investor to taking full control of KTM. This acquisition ended the Pierer Group’s involvement in KTM and gave Bajaj a 74.9 percent stake in what was then Pierer Mobility AG and KTM AG. The takeover triggered a major corporate reorganisation. Pierer Mobility AG was officially renamed Bajaj Mobility AG, and it is now the holding company for KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas brands.
