New Delhi: Demand for electric scooters is growing rapidly in India. Bajaj Auto is also benefiting from this. The company's electric scooter, the Bajaj Chetak, has set a new sales record. Total Chetak sales in the domestic market have surpassed 1 million units. With this, Bajaj Auto has become the third company in India to sell 1 million electric two-wheelers. Previously, Ola Electric and TVS Motor Company have achieved this feat.
According to data from the Vahan portal, a total of 10,01,135 units of the Bajaj Chetak have been sold as of November 6, 2026. The company launched this electric scooter in January 2020. Initially, sales were slow, as the electric scooter market was still relatively new in India. Furthermore, Bajaj's dealer network for electric vehicles was limited. However, demand for the Chetak has grown rapidly in the last few years.
The biggest change in Bajaj Chetak sales was seen in 2024. This year, the company sold 201,167 scooters, a 168% increase over 2023. In 2023, 75,112 Chetak units were sold. With this performance, Bajaj Auto reached third place in the electric two-wheeler market. At that time, Ola Electric was first with sales of 277,610 units, and TVS Motor was second with sales of 177,024 units.
Chetak sales continued to grow in 2025. The company sold 279,691 units this year, a 39% year-on-year increase. This placed Bajaj Auto second in electric two-wheeler sales for the first time. TVS followed with 315,087 units, and Ather Energy came in third with 214,985 units.
The year 2026 has been quite good for the Bajaj Chetak so far. Between January 1 and November 6, 2026, the company sold 412,409 electric scooters. This represents a 73% increase compared to the same period last year. Significantly, the Chetak has crossed the 300,000 and 400,000 unit sales mark for the first time in a single year.
Bajaj Auto recorded its highest monthly sales of 49,170 units in October 2026. The festive season in November is expected to boost sales further. The company may even surpass the 500,000 unit mark this year.
