Bajaj Chetak EV finally outnumbered the TVS iQube and reclaimed its lost crown after a gap of three months in the domestic market
Bajaj Chetak EV has bounced back to reclaim the crown of India’s best-selling electric scooter in Oct 2025. The Chetak EV sales had dropped in the last few months due to production constraints because of global shortage of rare earth magnets. However, it finally outnumbered TVS iQube which has been the highest-selling electric scooter in the domestic market for the past several months. The third position was bagged by Ather Rizta ahead of formidable rivals such as Ola S1 and Hero Vida V2 & VX2 in the country.
Bajaj Auto sold a total of 34,900 units of the Chetak EV in Oct 2025 as compared to 30,644 units during the same period last year. It registered a YoY growth of 13.9 percent. While the Chetak EV was the best-selling electric scooter in India last month, it occupied the sixth position in the list of top 10 scooters, which also included ICE models such as Honda Activa, Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter.
As for the iQube, TVS retailed 31,989 units of the electric scooter last month in the Indian market. It recorded a YoY growth of 10.6 percent as the company had managed to sell 28,923 units in Oct 2024. In the overall list (ICE + EV) of top 10 scooters, it was placed on the seventh spot, just behind the Chetak EV. TVS iQube has been topping the sales charts for the last three months on the trot.
Bajaj Chetak EV is currently sold in two series namely 30 and 35. While the Chetak 3001 comes in a single variant with a 3 kWh battery pack and 127 km range on a full charge, the 35 series is offered in three grades namely 3501, 3502 and 3503. All the three models are equipped with a 3.5 kWh battery and range of 150+ km on a single charge.
Bajaj has already commenced working on the next-gen Chetak EV and it is likely to break cover by mid 2026. The new-gen Bajaj Chetak EV was recently captured on camera for the first time. The new model will get significant styling updates at the rear while the hardware and cycle parts are also expected to be more upmarket than the current-gen model.
The spy images revealed that the new-gen Chetak EV will boast of a front disc brake, twin telescopic front forks and hub mounted electric motor at the rear wheel. More details are likely to emerge in the coming days as we inch closer to the launch. So, stay tuned to this page for more updates on the same.
