Bajaj Auto has officially confirmed the launch date of its new Bajaj Chetak electric scooter in India. As reported earlier in our exclusive story, the upcoming Bajaj e-scooter will debut on January 14, 2026, marking a key step for the brand in the mass-market EV segment.
The upcoming Bajaj Chetak EV will not replace the current Chetak range. Instead, Bajaj is set to introduce a more affordable electric scooter positioned below its existing lineup. This strategy is aimed at expanding Bajaj’s footprint in the high-volume electric two-wheeler market.
Bajaj Auto is targeting buyers who want a reliable electric scooter from a trusted brand, without paying a premium price. With an expected ex-showroom price between Rs 80,000 and Rs 90,000, the new Chetak EV could become one of the brand’s most accessible electric offerings.
The new Bajaj electric scooter will go head-to-head with popular rivals like the TVS iQube Orbiter and base variants of the Vida VX2. This puts Bajaj directly into one of the most competitive EV segments in India.

With official invitations already sent out, the new Bajaj Chetak EV launch in India is confirmed for January 14, 2026. More details regarding specifications, battery capacity, range, and variants are expected to be revealed at the launch event.
