The automaker is set to invest Rs 300 crore towards the new facility, which will help in Bajaj's efforts towards increasing its electric vehicle production in India. Currently, the company retails the Chetak electric scooter under the passenger two-wheeler segment.

However, sales of the electric scooter are affected due to the low production numbers. The new facility should help combat the ongoing issue and increase sales in the coming months.
