Bajaj Auto is poised to introduce a new, more budget-friendly variant of its Chetak electric scooter in India on January 14, 2026. This upcoming model is expected to be positioned below the existing premium Chetak offerings, aiming to make electric mobility more accessible to a wider range of cost-conscious buyers. The new-gen Chetak features several advancements in design, including a redesigned single-piece LED tail-lamp cluster with integrated turn indicators, and potential updates to the front profile.
Spy shots from late 2025 revealed the camouflaged scooter, hinting at a repositioned number plate holder and charging port. It is anticipated that Bajaj will offer new color options. To maintain affordability, the new Chetak variant is likely to forgo some modern features found in higher-end models, such as a TFT instrument cluster and keyless entry, opting instead for a simpler LCD screen. Pricing is expected to fall in the ₹80,000 to ₹90,000 (ex-showroom) range, making it a direct competitor to other entry-level electric scooters in the Indian market.
