Bajaj Chetak Electric Sales

The Bajaj chetak Electric has sold a total of 100 units in the month of February. We are not considering the sales figures for the month of March as there has been a turmoil in the industry. The company is planning to increase its sales to other states too. The reason why the Bajaj chetak does not sell well is that the majority of the 2 wheelers using people in our country value price over any other factors.

This is where the Bajaj Chetak takes the first hit. At 1.15 lakhs the customer has a loss of conventional scooters as options. Secondly, if we compare the charging infrastructure in our country and put it against the network of fuel pumps then we can see the lack of charging structure. Lastly the range anxiety. The range anxiety of an electric scooter dying out is always there. All these points have resulted in only those customers buying the scooter who are genuinely looking for an electric shift and thereby has affected the Bajaj Chetak Electric sales. It will take time for the complete change and we hope bajaj has an answer ready for that too.
