Additionally, the company stated that in recent weeks had temporary supply constraints linked to international component availability and had moderated deliveries. The sustained and growing demand for Chetak added further pressure on supply.
Moreover, production and shipments recommenced on August 20, which meant a faster-than-anticipated return to full capacity. In addition to that, the Indian automaker has secured a sufficient supply of rare earth magnets and other key materials to ensure availability during the upcoming festive season.
Eric Vas, President, Urbanite Business Unit, Bajaj Auto, said, “We appreciate our customers’ patience. 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.”
Bajaj Chetak introduced its 35 Series late last year. The Bajaj Chetak 35 Series is powered by a 3.5kWh battery pack which boasts a range of 153 km. In addition to that, the Chetak will have a 950 watts on-board charger which can charge the battery from 0 to 80% in approximately 3 hours. The electric scooter also boasts a new metal sheet for increased protection of the battery.
Furthermore, the Indian automaker sold 19,683 units of the Bajaj Chetak in July 2025 with a year-on-year growth is 12.80% compared to 17,765 units sold in July 2024.
