Bajaj Auto stepped onto the electric bandwagon with its battery-powered Chetak which went on sale in India in January 2020. The initial numbers of e-scooter were low even by the electric two-wheeler's standard and the sales couldn't really lift off as originally planned since the nationwide lockdown imposed restrictions on its production as well as sales.

Now a few months down the line, the chart has witnessed a positive trend especially within the last couple of months. The collective sales performance for September, October and November for Chetak stands at 810 units. For reference, TVS's iQube electric scooter found only 138 customers in India within the last three months.
