Bajaj Chetak Service Centres Start Operations Under Rules Set By The Government
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, India is facing a nationwide lockdown that has been extended till the end of May. Due to this crisis, businesses across the nation were shut down and many automobile manufacturers have faced huge losses. However, the government has eased the lockdown and said that businesses can resume, but under certain rules and regulations.
Bajaj has announced that its service centers for the electric scooter sub-brand, Chetak, are now operational in Bengaluru and in Pune. The company has said that its service centers are following a strict protocol to ensure the safety of all people on the premises. Only those people are required at the plant whose services are needed, the rest of the staff will keep working from home till further notice.
Along with Bajaj, other manufacturers like Hero, KTM, Piaggio, Royal Enfield, TVS, Jawa, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Hero Electric and Okinawa have also begun operations.
In other Bajaj related news, Bajaj Auto recently launched the Platina 100 BS6 in the Indian market with minor changes. The commuter motorcycle is sold in two variants with prices starting at Rs 47,763, ex-showroom (Delhi). The two trims in which the motorcycle are available are the (KS) Kick-Start and the top-spec (ES) Electric-Start trim. The Bajaj Platina 100 ES retails at a starting price of Rs 55,546, ex-showroom (Delhi).
The commuter motorcycle now features a new tinted windscreen as compared to the colour-matched cowl on the BS4 model.

Mechanically, the Platina 100 is powered by an air-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel injected 102cc engine that produces 7.5bhp of power and 8.34Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a standard four-speed gearbox.
