Three Bajaj-ecosystem domains entered the citation pool in this edition: bajajautocredit.com, bajajauto.com, and bajajgeneralinsurance.com, and their entry correlates with the uniform cross-engine gain.

Cite Solutions Research

Bajaj Chetak gained 11.4 percentage points to 80.7% after Bajaj-ecosystem domains entered the pool; Ather held its 92.7% lead uniformly across all three engines.

The move

Ather retained rank one at 92.7% citation share, up from 90% in the previous edition, with uniform coverage across ChatGPT (92%), Gemini (96%), and Google AI Mode (90%).

Bajaj Chetak was the biggest mover, gaining 11.4 percentage points to reach 80.7%, with the gain distributed evenly across ChatGPT (82%), Gemini (82%), and Google AI Mode (78%), showing no single-engine divergence.

Three Bajaj-ecosystem domains entered the citation pool in this edition: bajajautocredit.com, bajajauto.com, and bajajgeneralinsurance.com, and their entry correlates with the uniform cross-engine gain.

Ampere fell 4 percentage points and dropped two rank positions, with Gemini citation collapsing to 8%.

What it means

The category remains near-locked at the top, with Ather above 85% on all three engines and no competitor close enough to challenge without a broad source-level reconfiguration.

Bajaj Chetak's gain, correlated with three Bajaj-adjacent brand and financial-services domains entering the pool, illustrates a concrete mechanism: OEM-adjacent brand properties (insurer, credit arm, manufacturer site) carry citation weight in AI responses for this category.

An operator targeting a similar trajectory should audit whether its own brand-adjacent domains and financial partners are indexed in the AI citation pool.

Ampere's Gemini drop to 8% warrants monitoring across subsequent editions; if it does not recover, it signals a structural Gemini-side de-ranking rather than a single-edition variance.
