Bookings For The New Bajaj Chetak EV Are Now Open in India Again - Price, Specs, etc

Bajaj Auto was the first mainstream two-wheeler manufacturer in India to launch an electric vehicle. The company launched the all-new Bajaj Chetak Electric scooter in the Indian market in January 2020. Upon launch, it was an instant hit but then the pandemic happened and it affected its sales. In September 2020, the company stopped taking pre-bookings for the Chetak but now the bookings for the Bajaj Chetak EV are once again open in India.

The new Bajaj Chetak was the first electric offering from the house of this Pune-based Indian two-wheeler manufacturer. Last year in January, it was launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 1 lakh, Ex-showroom Delhi. The new Bajaj Chetak's retro appeal, good pricing and great electric powertrain made it an instant hit. Initially, it was launched in two Indian cities only and they are Pune and Bengaluru. Bajaj Auto was planning to expand its reach gradually in the near future but due to the pandemic, it didn't happen.
