MUMBAI (Reuters) - Shares in Bajaj Auto , India's second-largest motorcycle maker by sales, rose 2 percent on Thursday after the company reported July-September profit that beat analyst estimates.

The company said on Wednesday net profit rose by 13 percent to 8.37 billion rupees in the September quarter, as a weaker rupee boosted export earnings. The mean estimate of 11 analysts was 8.

The BSE Sensex was down 0.2 percent in trade at 9:37 a.m. Markets were closed on Wednesday for a holiday.
