Exciting news for electric scooter enthusiasts! Bajaj Auto is all set to expand its popular Chetak electric scooter lineup with the launch of its most affordable model yet. After introducing the Chetak 3503 in April 2025, priced at ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), the brand is now gearing up to unveil a new, entry-level variant that promises to be even more budget-friendly.

Expected to launch by the end of June 2025, this new electric scooter will be positioned below the Chetak 3503 and is likely to be based on the best-selling Chetak 2903, which currently retails at ₹99,998 (ex-showroom). Bajaj plans to carry forward the success of its 35 series platform, which debuted last December, by offering a value-packed option for urban commuters.
What’s New in the Upcoming Chetak EV?
While official details are still under wraps, reports suggest the new model will feature:
- An improved riding range
- Enhanced under-seat storage
- A floorboard-mounted battery pack for better weight distribution and convenience
- Refined chassis updates in line with the latest Chetak 35 series design
All these upgrades are expected to come without compromising on affordability — making it a smart, value-for-money option for everyday riders.
EV Market Challenges & Growth Prospects
Bajaj has also acknowledged potential supply chain hurdles due to a restriction on rare earth magnet exports from China, which could affect electric motor production. While this situation might impact launch timelines, the company has yet to confirm any delays.
Despite these challenges, Bajaj is optimistic about the future of EVs in India, projecting a 20-25% market growth in FY2026. Electric scooters now contribute 25% to Bajaj’s total domestic sales, with the Chetak series clinching the top spot in electric two-wheeler sales during the last quarter of FY2025.
Final Thoughts
With this new, wallet-friendly Chetak model on the horizon, Bajaj is clearly focused on making electric mobility accessible to a broader audience. Stay tuned — we’ll bring you all the official specs, features, and pricing as soon as they’re announced!
