    Bajaj Chetak 3503 Launch Price Rs 1.1 Lakh – Most Affordable In 35 Series

    Bajaj Chetak 3503With the launch of 35 Series of its Chetak electric scooters, Bajaj Auto introduced a larger battery and a new chassis. This 35 Series spawned a duo of electric scooters that played a major role in boosting sales for the brand and making it India’s best-selling electric scooter in the month of March 2025.
    After Chetak 3501 and Chetak 3502, Bajaj Auto has just launched Chetak 3503 electric scooter. The new Chetak 3503 is the most affordable variant in the 35 Series and is priced at Rs 1.1 lakh (Ex-sh), positioned below Chetak 3502 and the flagship Chetak 3501. Outside of 35 Series, Chetak 2903 variant continues to be on sale in India.
    Bajaj Chetak 3503 Launch
    India’s best-selling electric 2W manufacturer in March 2025, Bajaj Auto, has just launched the most affordable variant of its big battery Chetak 35 Series electric scooter. This is a direct dig at Ola S1X+, Ather Rizta S and TVS iQube 3.4 and the likes that promise long-range for affordable prices as they are low on features and equipment.
    Bajaj Chetak 3503
    Chetak 3503 is priced at Rs 1.1 lakh (Ex-sh) and is positioned below the Chetak 3502 priced at Rs 1.22 lakh (Ex-sh) and Chetak 3501 priced at Rs 1.3 lakh (Ex-sh). There are four colour options offered by Bajaj for Chetak 3503. These include Brooklyn Black, Indigo Blue, Matt Grey and Cyber White.
    There is a slight decrease in the features list with Chetak 3503, when compared to Chetak 3502 and Chetak 3501. However, it is not under-equipped in anyway. Notable features with Chetak 3503 include hill hold assist, a colour LCD cluster with Bluetooth and music control, call management, ride modes (Eco & Sports) along with LED headlights and more.
    Features & Specs
    Features removed to achieve this price point include sequential turn indicators, front disc brakes and it gets a slightly slower charging (0-80% in 3h 25m). Because it falls under the 35 Series, it gets the newer chassis that has a 35L under-seat storage and it gets Chetak’s hallmark metal body as well.
    Bajaj Chetak 3503
    Powering the Chetak 3503 is the same 3.5 kWh battery pack as Chetak 3502 and Chetak 3501. Because it is an affordable variant, Bajaj has dulled down performance a little and top-speed of Chetak 3503 is 63 km/h. However, the range has gone up and Bajaj is claiming 155 km of range from a single charge. More

    2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 Reach Showrooms Before Launch – New Features

    2025 Bajaj Dominar 400Earlier this year, spy shots of 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 surfaced on the internet. This is the first time Bajaj has offered a meaningful update to its flagship Dominar brand for a very long time. Now, we can see these units have reached dealerships ahead of launch, flaunting their newfound updates. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Bajaj Dominar 400
    Marketed as a Power Cruiser, Bajaj Dominar 400 has been a great choice for motorcycling enthusiasts who craved a bike that can do the daily commutes and be able to stretch its legs on the highway. Many motorcycles can do these duties, but not with the same vigorous performance that Dominar 400 offers.
    Even with the 2025 model, Dominar 400 continues to be offered in a sole variant with Touring accessories fitted as standard. This motorcycle still carries a functional windscreen, knuckle guards, a rear luggage rack and a pillion backrest. There don’t seem to be any changes in touring capabilities of this motorcycle.
    Where we can see changes, are in the instrumentation department. Bajaj is offering an improved fully digital instrument cluster. This is the same unit that made its debut with Pulsar NS400Z, which incidentally, gets the same engine as Dominar 400. With this new cluster, Dominar now gets Bluetooth connectivity for the first time.
    2025 Bajaj Dominar 400
    A second tell-tale cluster on its fuel tank has been eliminated completely and in its place, we now get a USB charger. To control this new instrument cluster, Bajaj has updated the switchgear as well, which also resembles the ones seen on Pulsar NS400Z. There’s a D-Pad on left switchgear that will be used to control this cluster.
    What else does it get?
    Speculations suggest inclusion of ride-by-wire and ABS modes with 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400, similar to Pulsar NS400Z. We can expect some changes to the engine that will make it compliant with the latest and more stringent BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standards that came into effect from vehicles manufactured after April 1st, 2025.
    [embedded content]
    Other than meeting newer emission standards, there shouldn’t be any dramatic changes to Dominar 400’s performance. The 373.3cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine will be capable of delivering around 39 bhp and 35 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Bajaj might add more colours and we can expect a slight price bump over the current model’s Rs 2.26 lakh (Ex-sh) price tag. More

    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Reach Showrooms Before Launch – Major Update

    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 UpdatedEarlier this year, Bajaj discontinued Platina 110 ABS variant from its portfolio alongside CT125X and Pulsar F250. However, the company carried over non ABS drum brake variant of Platina 110 forward. Fast forwarding to April 2025, Bajaj has given Platina 110 a major update and updated units have been reaching showrooms. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110
    The affordable budget commuter segment has been one-sided for a very long time in the favour of Hero MotoCorp’s Splendor range. However, Hero doesn’t operate in the 110cc segment, which is positioned between 100cc and 125cc. That’s where Bajaj’s Platina 110 comes into the scene and for MY25 version, it brings major updates along with it.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated
    For starters, there seems to be a new set of colours and the one seen in the video by Machine Rules shows a new colourway. Where black acts as the base colour and there’s a light green shade used for highlights and graphics. Same shade of green can also be seen in pinstriping done on alloy wheels.
    In contrast, the MY24 Platina 110 was offered in three colourways with graphics – Ebony Black Blue, Ebony Black Red and Cocktail Wine Red – Orange. Apart from the colours, there are a few visual updates to 2025 Bajaj Platina 110 that distinguish it from MY24 model. MY25 version gets a chrome surround engulfing headlight that is absent in MY24 model.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated With Fuel Injector
    Also, Bajaj Auto seems to have stopped offering the translucent knuckle guards on MY25 model or they may not be installed on this particular unit seen in this video. Other updates include the addition of a USB charging port, which is a welcome feature, and a few revisions around swingarm region. Seat cover, halogen headlights, LED DRLs and other components seem to be carried over.
    Fuel Injector replaces e-Carburettor
    Main change can be seen in 2025 Platina 110’s engine. This engine will now be BS6 P2 OBD-2B emission standard compliant, which is mandated on all vehicles sold in India after April 1st, 2025. To achieve latest and more stringent emission standards, Bajaj has replaced the electronic carburettor with a fuel injector.
    [embedded content]
    With this new fuel injector, we can expect changes in this motorcycle’s performance metrics and fuel efficiency. For context, the electronic carburettor model used to deliver around 8.5 bhp of peak power and 9.81 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. Other than that, there are no other changes and even the fully analog instrument cluster has been carried over. More

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant Without USD Forks Reach Showroom

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS VariantIn 2024, Pulsar NS200 got a major update with new styling cues and features. For 2025, Bajaj Auto is expanding the Pulsar NS200’s appeal with a more affordable variant that gets less premium components than the model introduced in 2024. 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS variant without USD forks have reached showrooms. Let’s take a closer look.
    Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    For a long time, Bajaj Pulsar has been a popular name in the premium street motorcycle genre. With the Pulsar NS200, Bajaj introduced a more premium powertrain and made performance and sophistication affordable to the masses. With the 2024 model, Bajaj improved on this motorcycle with new design and features along with more premium componentry.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    Fast forwarding to April 2025, Bajaj is carving out a more affordable variant of Pulsar NS200 with less premium componentry to strike a more attractive pricing. This will help Bajaj to boost its appeal in India’s premium street bike segment and boost the sales of Pulsar brand, which is its #1 volume generator.
    As seen in the video by Sunil Tech Knowledge, we can see 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS variant has been reaching showrooms. It is offered in the same colour options as regular Pulsar NS200 launched last year. These include Cocktail Wine Red – White, Glossy Ebony Black, Metallic Pearl White and Pewter Grey – Blue.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    The main changes with the new affordable variant is that Bajaj is offering conventional 37mm RSU telescopic front forks. These are less premium than the USD front forks Bajaj used to offer on the model launched in 2024. Also, ABS is now single channel only, acting on the front wheel mated to a 300mm rotor and Grimeca calipers.
    What all have changed?
    The model launched in 2024 came with dual-channel ABS as standard. Which will continue to be offered in the top variant along with USD front forks. Other than these two changes, we don’t see any other revisions to differentiate the new affordable variant with the fully kitted-out model launched last year.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    This is a good thing as Bajaj is offering the same fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth and Navigation. Lighting setup including LED DRLs, LED headlights, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators have been retained. Wider 100-section front tyre and 130-section rear tyre are part of the equipment list too.
    [embedded content]
    Also retained, is the 199.5cc liquid-cooled SOHC 4V/cyl single-cylinder engine that is capable of generating 24 bhp of peak power and 18.7 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It will be BS6 OBD2B emission standard compliant. Bajaj will launch this model soon and pricing will be more effective than the top-spec model. More

    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied In Jammu Ahead Of Launch

    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied by Jayant KerniBajaj Auto is gearing up to introduce a new, more affordable electric rickshaw aimed at countering the wave of low-cost, unbranded, and imported electric three-wheelers currently dominating the market. After filing a design patent for this new EV in March 2025, the first camouflaged test mule has now been spied on public roads near Jammu, suggesting that launch preparations are gaining momentum.
    Bajaj’s Answer to Low-Cost E-Rickshaws
    Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Jayant Kerni for sharing the exclusive spy shots. The heavily camouflaged prototype closely resembles the patent images seen earlier, confirming Bajaj’s focus on a simple, spacious, and cost-effective design. The rickshaw carries a boxy silhouette, optimizing interior space for passengers — a smart move to appeal to operators looking to maximize trip revenues.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    Up front, the prototype sports basic circular headlights and a large windscreen, prioritizing visibility. On the inside, the flat seats and minimalistic cabin highlight Bajaj’s focus on practicality and ease of production, keeping costs in check. Despite the cost-cutting, it’s expected that Bajaj will maintain its high standards of build quality, battery reliability, and safety – key concerns with many of the cheaper, unbranded rivals.
    Bajaj Patents New Electric 3 Wheeler
    Focus on Affordability, Safety, and Reliability
    Unlike many Chinese-imported kits flooding the segment, Bajaj’s upcoming rickshaw will likely be equipped with a better-tested battery pack, promising longer range, faster charging, and an overall longer life cycle. It is expected to offer benefits like roadside assistance, warranties for both vehicle and battery, and easier access to service networks — advantages that many unbranded options cannot match.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    While specific technical details remain under wraps, the new affordable Bajaj electric rickshaw could borrow lessons from the recently launched Bajaj GOGO electric rickshaw, which boasts a best-in-class 251 km range. Similar strengths could make Bajaj’s upcoming product an attractive option for fleet operators and individual owners alike.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    Launch Timeline
    Bajaj’s entry in the lower-cost electric rickshaw segment will surely heat up competition and offer buyers a trusted alternative to the existing unorganized market. An official announcement regarding its launch could follow soon, given that road testing has already begun. Stay tuned for more updates as Bajaj’s budget electric three-wheeler inches closer to production!
