Bajaj Chetak electric scooter likely to get an affordable variant

Bajaj Auto is working on a new electric scooter, which is likely to come as a more affordable iteration of Chetak. The test mule of the new Bajaj electric scooter has already been spotted testing on public roads, giving us a faint idea of what the new EV would look like despite its heavy camouflage. Almost all the major electric two-wheeler manufacturers in India have been launching their respective products in the affordable commuter segment over the last couple of months. Ola Electric and Ather Energy, along with others, have already adopted this strategy. Bajaj Auto being a major two-wheeler brand and being present in the Indian two-wheeler market, aims to grab a chunk of the bulging commuter electric scooter space. The upcoming EV is expected to play a key role in that strategy.
