Ever since its return in January 2020, the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter has managed to achieve significant sales, crossing the mark of over 5 lakh units all over India. In the last 10 months, more than
2.06 lakh units have been sold; this speaks for itself in terms of increasing demand for electric scooters. This growth continues even after earlier production issues due to a shortage of rare-earth magnets. Presently, prices for Chetak models start at around Rs 1.07 lakh for the base model 3001 variant and go up to Rs 1.40 lakh for the top-of-the-line variants. Both mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures.
