Bajaj Chetak Launch In Other Cities To Get Delayed
In January 2020, Bajaj Auto introduced the Chetak electric scooter at a starting price of Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom). Initially, the e-scooter was made available in Pune and Bengaluru only. The company had planned to expand its market in other cities as well. Though it might be delayed by 4-5 months due to interruption in supply of components from Wuhan, China.
