Desk: The demand for electric scooters is increasing rapidly in India. Bajaj Auto is also benefiting from this. The company's electric scooter Bajaj Chetak has made a new sales record. Total sales of Chetak in the domestic market have crossed 10 lakh units. With this, Bajaj Auto has become the third company to sell 10 lakh electric two-wheelers in India.

According to vehicle portal data, a total of 10,01,135 units of Bajaj Chetak have been sold till 6 November 2026. The company launched this electric scooter in January 2020. Initially its sales were very slow, because at that time the electric scooter market was new in India. Apart from this, Bajaj's dealer network for electric vehicles was also limited. However, the demand for Chetak has increased rapidly in the last few years.
The biggest change in the sales of Bajaj Chetak was seen in 2024. This year the company sold 2,01,167 scooters, which was 168 percent more than in 2023. 75,112 units of Chetak were sold in 2023. With this performance, Bajaj Auto reached the third position in the electric two-wheeler market. At that time Ola Electric was at first place with sales of 2,77,610 units and TVS Motor was at second place with 1,77,024 units. After this, Chetak sales continued to increase even in 2025. This year the company sold 2,79,691 units, which was an increase of 39 percent on an annual basis. With this, Bajaj Auto reached second position in sales of electric two-wheeler companies for the first time. During this period, TVS stood first with 3,15,087 units and Ather Energy stood third with 2,14,985 units.
The year 2026 has been quite good for Bajaj Chetak so far. Between January 1 and November 6, 2026, the company has sold 4,12,409 electric scooters. This is an increase of 73 percent compared to the same period last year. The special thing is that for the first time Chetak has crossed the sales figures of 3 lakh and 4 lakh units in a year. Bajaj Auto recorded its highest ever monthly sales of 49,170 units in October 2026. Sales are expected to get a further boost due to the festive season in November.
