Bajaj Auto is all set to raise the production of Chetak to a total of 80,000 units by 2027. The Bajaj Chetak is experiencing tremendous consumer interest, prompting the company to accelerate its manufacturing output. However, this situation is poised for a significant shift.

Bajaj Chetak EV Production 2027

If we analyse the recent Q2 FY2027 results, the Joint Managing Director of Bajaj, Rakesh Sharma will be following a dedicated manufacturing strategy which involves the rapid increase of production to roughly 80,000 units every single month. 

At present, assembly lines are capable of manufacturing up to 62,000 units each month. However, supply chain disruptions have brought production to a standstill, restricting output to merely 40,000 units, despite bigger capacity. However, the good news is that the supply chain is back in its full form and the brand is ready to push the production further. 

For the future, Bajaj is planning to increase the Chetak portfolio in order to fulfill the needs of consumers according to their budget.
