Bajaj Auto has strengthened its electric vehicle lineup with the introduction of the Chetak 3503, priced attractively at ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as the most budget-friendly model in the Chetak 35 series, this new variant follows the footsteps of the earlier launched 3501 and 3502 models.
The Chetak 35 series has been instrumental in helping Bajaj claim the top spot in electric two-wheeler sales in India for March 2025, marking a major milestone in the brand’s electric journey.
Performance and Range
The newly launched Chetak 3503 is powered by a robust 3.5 kWh battery pack. It offers a practical range of up to 155 km on a single charge, making it ideal for daily urban commutes. While the top speed is slightly lower compared to its siblings at 63 km/h, it remains more than sufficient for city riding. Charging is relatively convenient too, reaching 80% charge in just about 3 hours and 25 minutes.
Design and Features
True to the Chetak legacy, the 3503 retains the signature metal body known for its durability and style. It also boasts a generous 35-liter under-seat storage. Key features include a hill-hold assist, a color LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, music and call controls, LED headlamp, and dual riding modes — Eco and Sport.
To achieve the aggressive pricing, Bajaj has skipped some premium features like sequential turn indicators, a front disc brake, and faster charging capabilities. Despite this, the 3503 still offers an excellent package for its segment.
Color Choices
The Chetak 3503 is offered in a palette of four stylish colors:
Brooklyn Black
Indigo Blue
Matt Grey
Cyber White
These options ensure there’s a color to match every rider’s personality and style preference.
Market Strategy
With the launch of the 3503, Bajaj is targeting buyers who seek reliable electric mobility at a more accessible price point. It directly rivals models like the Ola S1X+, Ather Rizta S, and TVS iQube 3.4. In a fiercely competitive market, the Chetak 3503 stands out by blending essential features, performance, and premium build quality without breaking the bank.
Final Verdict
The Bajaj Chetak 3503 is a significant addition to the brand’s growing electric portfolio. It makes the dream of owning a stylish and dependable electric scooter much more attainable for a wider audience. With its balanced mix of range, build quality, and essential tech, the Chetak 3503 sets a new benchmark for affordable electric scooters in India.
