Bajaj Family's Dassault Falcon 2000LX (VT-AYV) was tracked flying from Juhu Aerodrome in Mumbai to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on June 26, covering the 1,100-kilometer leg in just under two hours.

If a member of the Bajaj Family was aboard, they would arrive in the national capital the same week Bajaj Auto disclosed a ransomware attack that hit its systems and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, Bajaj Auto Technology Ltd, on June 23, per a regulatory filing with the BSE [bseindia.com](https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/37636f5f-3f82-4da8-9c30-b13cee7c1b49.pdf). The company said it had notified CERT-In and taken precautionary measures, though it did not specify whether manufacturing or data was affected [economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/auto/auto-news/bajaj-auto-says-ransomware-attack-hits-systems/articleshow/131940099.cms). The incident also came just ahead of a Rs 5,632 crore share buyback record date on June 24 [economictimes.indiatimes.com](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/bajaj-auto-shares-in-focus-as-firm-subsidiary-fall-prey-to-ransomware-attack/articleshow/131953983.cms).

Delhi is home to the corporate headquarters of many Bajaj Group entities and the primary regulatory offices; a visit this week would be consistent with high-level discussions around the cyber incident and its potential business impact. No prior flights for this aircraft are on record, making this a notable movement.
