(Reuters) - India's Bajaj Auto Ltd posted a near 21 percent rise in first-quarter profit on Friday, helped by higher sales volume, but missed analysts' expectations.

That compared with the 12.47 billion rupees average estimate of 18 analysts, Thomson Reuters data showed.
Total revenue from operations rose about 27 percent to 74.19 billion rupees.
Sales volumes grew 38 percent to a quarterly record 1.2 million units.
