So, there is good news for Bajaj Chetak and electric scooter fans. Bajaj Auto has announced that its Chetak electric scooter is now back in full production after a slowdown caused by a global shortage of rare earth magnets, which are known as a key component used in EV motors.
The company has announced that it has restored production ahead of schedule and has secured enough materials to ensure smooth deliveries during the upcoming festive season.
On this development, Eric Vas, President of Bajaj Auto’s Urbanite Business Unit, said, “Demand for Chetak remains robust, supplies have normalised and deliveries against bookings have commenced. We are scaling up production to meet rising demand while staying true to our standards of quality and customer delight.”
Following the ‘Chetak Legacy’, the new Chetak has quickly grabbed it’s place in the electric scooter market, doubling its market share in just one year. People lean towards Chetak because of it’s established name and classic styling, reliable performance, and strong build quality, making it one of the top picks for both daily commutes and weekend rides.
However, the Bajaj Chetak isn’t the only e-scooter player in town, there are Ather 450X, TVS iQube, and Ola S1 Air which are also popular choices among EV lovers, offering competitive features like longer range, faster charging, and tech-savvy dashboards. Still, Bajaj’s legacy of quality and wide dealership network give the Chetak a unique edge-especially for buyers looking for proven reliability.
If you are also a Chetak Fan and have been waiting to own a Chetak, now is the perfect time, as with the production back on track and deliveries resuming, festive-season buyers can expect smoother availability without the delays seen earlier this year.
