Bajaj Auto has introduced its most budget-friendly Chetak model to date. Named the Chetak 2901, it is available at an ex-showroom price of Rs 95,998 in Bangalore. Positioned below the Urbane and Premium versions of the Chetak, this new variant is strategically priced under the Rs 1 lakh threshold. With competitors offering models in a similar price range, this more affordable Chetak variant was essential for Bajaj to stay competitive.
