The Bajaj Chetak electric scooter is available in an expansive range across five variants and is priced from Rs. 99,802 (ex-showroom) in India
Bajaj Auto has recorded 10,01,135 cumulative Chetak electric scooter registrations in India as of November 6 – more than six years after its market launch. Bajaj is the third Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer to cross the threshold after Ola Electric and TVS Motor Company. In the first ten months and six days of 2026 alone, the Chetak registered 4,12,409 units – up 73 per cent from the corresponding period last year.
The current Bajaj Chetak portfolio has five versions divided among the C25, C30 and C35 series. The C2501 starts at Rs. 99,802 and uses a 2.5 kWh battery. The C3001 has a 3.0 kWh battery and three C35 variants use 3.5 kWh batteries. At the opposite end, the C3501 costs Rs. 1,52,140 (both prices ex-showroom, Bengaluru).
The electric Chetak was unveiled in October 2019 and went on sale on January 14, 2020 – initially in Pune and Bengaluru. Its Urbane and Premium versions cost Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively back then. Bajaj introduced the 35 Series in December 2024, the Chetak 3001 in June 2025 and the smaller C25 earlier this year as part of appealing to a large band of consumers.
The C3501 and C3502 can reach 80 kmph while the C3503 and C3001 have a top speed of 70 kmph. The C2501 is rated for 60 kmph. Bajaj quotes a zero to 80 per cent charging time of three hours for the C3501 and three hours and 25 minutes for the C3502 and C3503.
The C3001 needs two hours and 55 minutes against two hours and 25 minutes for the C2501. The four larger variants have 35 litres of underseat storage compared to 25 litres on the C2501. Retail volumes illustrate how the electric scooter progressed from its early years. The Chetak recorded just 1,243 registrations in 2020 and 75,112 in 2023 before sales rising to 2,01,167 units in 2024 and 2,79,691 units in 2025.
The total of 49,170 units established its highest monthly figure yet in October 2026. The third quarter of this CY alone produced 1,36,040 registrations against 1,00,615 in the January to March quarter. The April revisions increased the maximum output of the C3501 motor from 4.5 kW to 4.8 kW and introduced Google Maps navigation on the flagship variant.
The C3501 boasts a touchscreen instrument console, the C3502 gets a TFT unit and the other three use colour LCD displays. Eco and Sport modes and hill-hold assistance are standard on the C35 and C30 versions while the C2501 requires an optional TecPac for those functions. All five scooters have a metal body and reverse function. It must be noted that Bajaj secured a 22.5 per cent share of electric two-wheeler registrations between January 1 and November 6, 2026.
