Bajaj Chetak Crosses 5 Lakh Sales Mark in India

Bajaj Auto’s legacy with Indian commuters has taken a lively electric twist, as the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter notches up an impressive 5 lakh (500,000) sales in the country. This milestone isn’t merely a sales number—it’s a testament to how urban India is rapidly putting its faith in electric mobility and how the Chetak continues to shape the modern two-wheeler story.

How Bajaj Chetak Did It

• In the past year, Bajaj boosted its presence across India’s cities and towns, helping the Chetak reach even first-time EV buyers.
• The scooter’s smart blend of retro charm and modern tech has drawn a diverse crowd, from college students and office-goers to business owners looking for reliable urban mobility.
• The spike in demand in 2024 and 2025, with over 2 lakh units sold in just 10 months, points to strong word-of-mouth, solid after-sales support, and Bajaj’s focus on nationwide dealer expansion.
• With Chetak’s strong brand nostalgia from the petrol era, the EV version’s robust build and daily efficiency sealed the deal for many urban dwellers.

On the design front, Bajaj has been unafraid to dip into nostalgia, bringing forward that classic curvy Chetak silhouette dressed up with vivid, youthful colors—Red, Blue, and Yellow, among others—to keep things fresh for new-age buyers.

Ownership and Market Position

With a competitive on-road price and a total cost of ownership lower than most petrol rivals, Chetak remains irresistible for budget-conscious as well as eco-friendly buyers. The scooter’s popularity has played a critical role in boosting the acceptance of electric two-wheelers in Indian cities, challenging mainstream players like Ola, Ather, and TVS iQube head-on.

The Road Ahead for Chetak

Bajaj’s commitment to local production, frequent over-the-air software updates, and the plan to expand its charging and servicing footprint are likely to make Chetak a household name for a new generation of EV users.

As the 5 lakh sales mark is celebrated, it’s not just about numbers—it’s about trust, dependability, and the ever-evolving needs of urban Indian riders. The Bajaj Chetak’s journey is proving that a classic can, indeed, become the face of a modern electric revolution.
