New Delhi, Jan 24 (PTI) The country's second largest two-wheeler maker Bajaj today said it will add 130 new dealerships by June that will create about 7,000 new jobs.

"The target of appointing 130 quality dealers, a task, which usually takes around 9-12 months, will be completed in the short span of 4 months," Bajaj Auto Ltd (BAL) President (Motorcycle Business) S Sridhar said in a statement.

The company has selected the new dealerships with the use of internet and delegation through a layered selection process, he added.

"These new dealerships will commence temporary operations by March-end, with final operations commencing by June," BAL said, adding the selection was completed by December last year and letters of intent were issued in this month.

A Bajaj dealership in the new towns has the direct employment potential of approximately 50 people, boosting the local economy, the statement said.
