Deliveries will commence from February-end, the company said.
The Chetak electric scooter will initially be available in Pune and Bengaluru.
"From Jan. 15 onwards, Chetak will be available in two cities and this will mark the commencement of a new era in two-wheeler mobility," Rakesh Sharma, executive director at Bajaj Auto, said at the launch event in Mumbai.
