List of Cities

In 2021, Bajaj Auto had opened bookings for the Chetak EV in 8 cities. During the first six weeks of 2022, bookings for the Chetak have been opened in an additional 12 cities. The list of cities now includes Coimbatore, Madurai, Kochi, Kozhikode, Hubli, Visakhapatnam, Nashik, Vasai, Surat, Delhi, Mumbai and Mapusa. Delhi and Mumbai are one of the biggest markets for electric scooters in India. Bajaj Auto recently announced an investment of ₹ 300 Cr to ramp up its electric vehicle production capacity as well.

New Plant in Pune

Late in December, Bajaj Auto announced investment into a new electric vehicle plant in Pune. The company decided to invest Rs 300 crore ($40 million) in the plant. The automotive brand has begun work at the brand-new unit at Akurdi for manufacturing electric vehicles. The company has announced that this unit will have a production capacity of 5,00,000 EVs per annum. Akurdi (Pune) is also the site of the original Chetak scooter factory. The addition of big markets such as New Delhi and Mumbai can be attributed to the enhanced production capacity of the company.

Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director, Bajaj Auto said, “Chetak’s success has been built on the quality of a thoroughly tested, dependable product. An on-ground network of sales and service reduces the anxiety of a customer venturing into an unfamiliar category such as electric scooters. Our plan is to double Chetak’s network in the coming few weeks to accommodate the high demand.”
