They are observed alone or in groups of three, including mother and offspring. Sometimes groups of 8 to 10 individuals are observed. Chinkra are polygamous. Males are territorial and protect their territory. There are two breeding seasons in the year, one at the end of the rainy season and another at the end of spring. Chinkara have a gestation period of 5 to 5.5 months and females give birth to one offspring and sometimes twins who stay with their mother for 12 months
