Bajaj Auto Restarts Chetak Deliveries After Supply Issues
Bajaj Auto is now delivering its electric scooters again.
They had problems making enough scooters because it was hard to get certain parts.
The company had to stop or slow down production.
Now, they have found a way to get the parts they need.
They started delivering the scooters again in August.
They hope to sell more scooters during the upcoming holidays.
Other companies that make electric vehicles also had similar issues.
Bajaj Auto resumed Chetak e-scooter deliveries after overcoming supply disruptions.
Production was significantly impacted in July, with output reduced by up to 50 percent.
Supply of rare earth magnets has improved, allowing for a production restart.
Deliveries recommenced on August 20 to meet growing demand ahead of the festive season.
Other EV makers faced similar challenges due to a global magnet shortage.
