Bajaj Launching Cheapest Electric Scooter

Indian automotive giant Bajaj Auto is making waves in the electric two-wheeler market with its plan to launch an affordable variant of the popular Chetak electric scooter. The company aims to strengthen its foothold in the rapidly growing EV sector by introducing a budget-friendly option that could potentially cost around ₹80,000 (ex-showroom). This strategic move comes ahead of anticipated reductions in government subsidies starting April 2025, which might lead to increased prices for existing models.

Recent sightings of Bajaj’s test scooters in Pune have created excitement among EV enthusiasts. The prototype, spotted with temporary registration plates, appears smaller than its premium counterparts and demonstrates speeds capped at 40-50 km/h during testing. Currently, the cheapest Chetak variant, the 2903 model, is priced at ₹95,998 (ex-showroom), but this may rise close to ₹1 lakh by year-end due to subsidy cuts. By launching a more economical version, Bajaj Auto hopes to attract budget-conscious buyers who find the current price range challenging. Industry experts believe this new offering could significantly boost Bajaj’s market share while addressing affordability concerns in the competitive electric scooter segment. Customers eagerly await detailed specifications and features of this upcoming model.
