India's electric two-wheeler market is witnessing remarkable growth, and Bajaj Auto has achieved a major milestone in this rapidly expanding segment. Its popular electric scooter, the Bajaj Chetak, has crossed 10 lakh cumulative sales in the domestic market, marking a significant achievement for the company.

With this accomplishment, Bajaj Auto has become the third manufacturer in India to cross the 10 lakh electric two-wheeler sales mark, following Ola Electric and TVS Motor Company. The milestone also highlights how the Chetak has evolved from a relatively slow-selling electric scooter into one of the important players in India's EV market.

According to data from the VAHAN portal, Bajaj Chetak recorded total domestic sales of 10,01,135 units as of November 6, 2026. Launched in January 2020, the electric scooter initially witnessed limited demand because India's electric two-wheeler market was still developing and Bajaj's EV dealership network was relatively small.

However, increasing consumer interest, expanding dealership coverage and growing acceptance of electric mobility have helped the Chetak achieve impressive sales growth.

1. Bajaj Chetak Witnessed a Massive Sales Jump in 2024

One of the biggest turning points for the Bajaj Chetak came in 2024. During this year, the company sold 2,01,167 electric scooters, registering an impressive 168% growth compared to 2023.

For comparison, Bajaj Auto had sold 75,112 Chetak units in 2023. This sharp increase helped the company strengthen its position in India's electric two-wheeler market.

During 2024, Ola Electric remained the market leader with 2,77,610 units, while TVS Motor Company secured the second position with 1,77,024 units.

2. Bajaj Chetak Strengthened Its Position Further in 2025

The growth momentum continued in 2025 as well. Bajaj Auto sold 2,79,691 Chetak electric scooters during the year, representing a 39% year-on-year increase.

This performance helped Bajaj move into second place in the electric two-wheeler sales rankings for the first time.

TVS Motor Company led the segment with 3,15,087 units, followed by Bajaj Auto, while Ather Energy secured the third position with 2,14,985 units.

The growing sales figures indicated that the Chetak was becoming an increasingly popular choice among Indian electric scooter buyers.

3. Bajaj Chetak Records 4.12 Lakh Sales in 2026

The year 2026 has been particularly successful for Bajaj Auto. Between January 1 and November 6, 2026, the company sold 4,12,409 Chetak electric scooters.

This represents a 73% increase compared with the corresponding period in 2025.

Another major achievement is that the Chetak crossed both the 3 lakh and 4 lakh annual sales milestones for the first time within a calendar year.

October 2026 turned out to be particularly impressive, with Bajaj recording its highest-ever monthly Chetak sales of 49,170 units. The festive season has further strengthened demand, raising expectations that the company could cross the 5 lakh annual sales milestone before the year ends.

4. What Has Driven Bajaj Chetak's Growing Popularity?

Several factors have contributed to the electric scooter's increasing popularity in India.

• Brand recognition: The Chetak name already enjoys strong recognition among Indian consumers because of its legacy in the two-wheeler market.

• Expanding dealership network: Better availability and wider service coverage have helped Bajaj reach more customers.

• Growing EV acceptance: Rising awareness about electric mobility and running costs has encouraged more buyers to consider electric scooters.

• Improved market presence: Increasing sales and a stronger distribution network have helped the company compete with established EV manufacturers.

What Does This Milestone Mean for Bajaj Auto?

Crossing 10 lakh domestic sales is a significant achievement for Bajaj Auto and reflects the growing acceptance of its electric scooter portfolio.

The performance also highlights how competition in India's electric two-wheeler market is becoming increasingly intense, with established automobile manufacturers and EV-focused companies fighting for market share.

With sales growing rapidly in 2026, Bajaj Chetak's next major target will be to strengthen its position and maintain its growth momentum. If the current trend continues, the company could finish the year with another important sales record.
