Bajaj Auto has achieved a historic breakthrough in India’s electric two-wheeler market, with its popular Chetak electric scooter surpassing one million cumulative retail sales. The achievement highlights the remarkable transformation of the iconic Chetak brand from a petrol-powered household favourite into a major player in electric mobility. Bajaj Chetak EV sales crossed 10 Lakh units in less than seven years since its electric debut in January 2020.
Strong consumer demand, an expanding dealership network, competitive pricing, and a diversified electric scooter portfolio have accelerated Bajaj’s growth, strengthening its position against established rivals in India’s increasingly competitive electric vehicle market.
