In a welcome step towards making electric mobility, Bajaj Auto introduced the new Chetak 3503 in India at a competitive price of ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom). The new variant is now the lowest-priced one in the Chetak electric scooter line, reducing the difference with the earlier base variant (Chetak 3501) by almost ₹20,000.

Designed for Everyday City Commuters
The Chetak 3503 retains the same battery pack as its higher-priced siblings but compromises on some features to achieve a lower price point. Bajaj has replaced the digital TFT display with a basic Bluetooth-enabled instrument cluster, and sequential turn indicators have been omitted. Moreover, it comes with a longer charging time, although Bajaj hasn’t specified the exact hours required.
Despite these reductions, the riding range is slightly better than the 3501 variant, with a claimed 155 km on a single charge. However, the top speed is capped at 63 kmph, making it ideal for urban commuters who value efficiency over speed.
