Bajaj Celebrates RCB Women’s WPL Triumph
Bajaj Auto has chosen a memorable way to celebrate women’s cricket by gifting Chetak C25 electric scooters to every player in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women’s team, following their Women’s Premier League (WPL) title win.
The move also marks the retail debut of the Chetak C25, while concluding Bajaj Chetak’s season-long partnership as the team’s Official Ride Partner. Personally, I think this kind of gesture works on multiple levels—it recognizes sporting excellence while giving a new product meaningful visibility.
Positioning of the Chetak C25
The Chetak C25 is positioned as the entry-level offering in Bajaj’s electric scooter portfolio. It sits below the Chetak 30 and 35 Series, but retains the brand’s hallmark metal body construction and sturdy build quality, which many commuters in India still value highly.
The scooter is aimed primarily at urban riders looking for a practical, efficient daily commuter, rather than outright performance.
Battery, Range, and Performance
Powering the scooter is a 2.5 kWh battery pack delivering an IDC-certified range of 113 km. A hub-mounted motor enables a top speed of 55 kmph, which aligns with typical city usage.
Charging is also relatively convenient, with 0–80% achievable in about 2.5 hours using a 750 W off-board charger. For everyday commuting, I find this balance of range and charging time particularly sensible, especially for riders who mainly travel within city limits.

Price and Introductory Offer
To encourage early adoption, Bajaj has introduced a benefit of Rs 4,299 for the first 10,000 customers, effectively bringing the ex-showroom price down to Rs 87,100.
The scooter is currently being rolled out in select cities, with phased expansion planned as production scales up.
Features and Equipment
Despite being the entry-level model, the Chetak C25 includes several practical features:
- Metal body construction
- IP67-rated battery pack
- Front disc and rear drum brakes
- 170 mm ground clearance
- Hill-hold assist and reverse mode
- Eco and Sport ride modes
- Guide-me-home lighting
- Basic connected functions
These additions make the scooter feel well-equipped for daily commuting, rather than stripped down to meet a lower price point.
A Marketing Move with Sporting Spirit
By linking the Chetak C25 launch to RCB Women’s WPL victory, Bajaj has effectively tied its product to a moment of national sporting pride. From my perspective, such collaborations feel more meaningful when they celebrate achievements rather than just advertise a brand.
