Bajaj Chetak Receives Its Highest Price Hike Yet
Last month,
Bajaj revised the prices of the Chetak range but that wasn’t it. The two-wheeler giant has once again increased the prices of its electric scooter offering. This time around, the asking price sees quite a significant bump. Here’s the new ex-showroom pricing:
Model
Rs 24,000
The new pricing is applicable only for bookings made on the 13th and 14th of April. Right now, bookings have been halted. The latest pricing for the Bajaj Chetak was displayed via a pop-up notification during the online booking process.
The revised asking price does not include the FAME II subsidy. Once the subsidy is granted, expect the prices to go down by approximately Rs 25,000, making the Bajaj Chetak a tad affordable. It is now just Rs 2,000 cheaper than the Ather 450X.

Buland Bharath Ki Buland Tasveer, Hamara Bajaj’ was the advertisement tagline of Bajaj Scooters during 1980’s and we cannot forget the tag line of the then newly launched Hero Honda Bikes ‘
Fill it, Shut it, Forget it’. Scooters, Bikes & Mopeds started gathering steam in the mid 80’s and after that we had a clear demarcation between:
• Scooters
