Bajaj Auto, a titan in India’s automotive sector, has shifted gears into the electric future with its Bajaj GoGo Electric Auto—a game-changer for drivers, fleet operators, and eco-conscious commuters. Launched in February 2025, the GoGo brand replaces Bajaj’s existing electric three-wheelers (E3Ws) and targets India’s booming last-mile transport market, which saw 6.9 lakh electric three-wheelers sold in 2024 (Vahan data). With a jaw-dropping 251 km range, segment-first tech, and aggressive pricing, the GoGo is poised to challenge rivals like Mahindra Treo and Piaggio Ape E-City. Let’s unpack why this E3W is making waves.

Bajaj GoGo Electric Auto: Variants, Pricing & Naming Logic
Bajaj Auto has started a new chapter by introducing its dedicated electric three-wheeler brand – Bajaj GoGO. Bajaj has launched three passenger variants under the GoGo umbrella, with cargo models coming soon:
- GoGo P5009: ₹3,26,797 (ex-showroom) | 9 kWh battery
- GoGo P5012: Price TBA | 12 kWh battery
- GoGo P7012: ₹3,83,004 (ex-showroom) | 12 kWh battery
Decoding the Names:
- ‘P’ = Passenger (cargo variants will likely use ‘C’).
- ‘50’/‘70’ = Vehicle size (smaller/larger cabin).
- ‘09’/‘12’ = Battery capacity (9 kWh/12 kWh).
Why It Matters: The P7012, with its 12 kWh battery, offers the longest range (251 km)—enough for a full day’s work without charging. For context, Mahindra Treo offers 170 km, while Piaggio’s Ape E-City maxes out at 120 km.
Standout Features of the Bajaj GoGo Electric Auto
One of the standout features of the Bajaj GoGO Electric Auto is its impressive 251 km range on a single charge. This is the longest range available in its segment, making it ideal for daily urban commutes and longer intra-city journeys. Complementing this is a two-speed automated transmission designed to optimize performance on varied terrains, particularly on inclines, thereby enhancing both efficiency and ride comfort.
- Record-Breaking Range: 251 km per charge (P7012) slashes downtime, crucial for drivers earning ₹800–1,200 daily (Delhi fares).
- Two-Speed Automated Transmission: A segment-first feature that optimizes torque for hills (27.8% gradability) and extends range in Eco mode.
- Safety Tech Suite:
- Auto Hazard Detection: Alerts drivers during sudden stops.
- Anti-Roll Detection: Prevents tipping on uneven roads.
- Hill Hold Assist: Holds brakes on inclines for 3 seconds.
- Premium TecPac Add-Ons (Optional): Remote immobilization (anti-theft), reverse assist, and telematics for fleet tracking.
- LED Lighting and Hill Hold Assist: Improved visibility and stability even on steep slopes.
- 5-Year Battery Warranty: Covers 70% capacity retention, addressing a key buyer concern.
Market Strategy: Why GoGo Could Dominate India’s E3W Segment
- Pricing Edge: At ₹3.27 lakh, the base GoGo undercuts Mahindra Treo (₹3.49 lakh) and matches Tata Ace EV (₹3.3 lakh).
- Infrastructure Boost: Bajaj expanded its dealership network from 600 to 850 outlets in 2024, ensuring service accessibility.
- Rapid Adoption: Bajaj sold 17,000 E3Ws in Q3 FY24, capturing 35% market share—up from 13% in 2023.
Industry Backing:
“Bajaj’s brand trust and focus on driver economics make GoGo a formidable player,” says Rohan Rao, Auto Analyst at Emkay Global.
Financial Muscle & Sustainability Goals
- Q3 FY24 Revenue: ₹12,807 crore (+6% YoY), with EVs contributing 14% of three-wheeler sales.
- EBITDA Margin: 20.2%, reflecting cost control despite EV R&D spends.
- Export Plans: Bajaj aims to replicate GoGo’s success in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Africa by 2026.
Challenges & Competitor Watch
- Ola’s Ambition: Ola Electric plans a three-wheeler by late 2025, targeting ₹2.5 lakh pricing.
- Battery Recycling: Bajaj partners with Lohum to repurpose 95% of cells, but scaling this is critical.
Future Outlook: Cargo Models & Tech Upgrades
- GoGo Cargo Variants: Expected by late 2025, competing with Tata Ace EV and Euler HiLoad.
- AI Integration: Predictive maintenance alerts via the Bajaj app could reduce repair costs by 30% (BCG estimate).
Conclusion: Bajaj GoGo
The Bajaj GoGo Electric Auto isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a statement. By blending affordability, cutting-edge tech, and Bajaj’s 75-year legacy, it addresses the trifecta of driver needs: lower downtime, higher earnings, and zero emissions. As Samardeep Subandh, President of Bajaj’s Intra-City Business Unit, asserts: “The next time you need a ride, hail a Bajaj GoGo!”
With cargo models en route and a ₹1.5 lakh EV subsidy under FAME III (rumored), GoGo could soon be India’s default choice for last-mile mobility.
