Medial

Electric scooter manufacturer Ola Electric, which recently went public, has registered a major downfall in its market share among the electric two wheelers segment in the past two months. Ola Electric market share subsequently slipped to 39% in July and further down to 33% in August (month-to-date), according to investment banking and capital markets firm Jefferies. At the same time, TVS regained market share at 19% at August (MTD) against 15% in Q1 FY25. Ola Electric has emerged as the dominant OEM in India’s electric two-wheelers market as its market share rose from 21% in FY23 to 35% in FY24 and further to 49% in Q1 FY25, the report added. Jefferies attributes expansion of product portfolio and aggressive pricing to the rise in Ola Electric’s market share. During FY24, Ola Electric sold 3,29,618 scooters, almost 2X as compared to FY23. This also reflected in the company’s scale which grew nearly two-fold to Rs 5,010 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,631 crore in FY23. As per the report, Bajaj’s market share has also risen from 11% in FY24 and 12% in Q1 FY25 to 18% in August MTD. Hero is still lagging among incumbents with 5% market share in August while Honda has no-play in the electric space. Meanwhile, the Bhavish Aggarwal-led company has announced plans to launch affordable electric motorcycles Roadster which will be ready for delivery by Diwali next year. Despite the fall in volume, the electric two wheeler space continues to be dominated by Ola Electric followed by TVS, Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp. Interestingly, Jefferies’ report has not mentioned anything on Ather, which recently turned unicorn and is on the verge of becoming the second public company from the EV startup ecosystem. Currently, Ola Electric’s shares are trading at Rs 128, up from the initial public offering price of Rs 76 per share.

Ola Electric registers 23,430 units in March, lagging far behind Bajaj and TVS Two-wheeler electric vehicle manufacturer Ola Electric registered 23,430 units in March 2025, according to data published by the VAHAN portal. However, Ola Electric lagged behind Bajaj Auto and TVS, which sold 34,863 and 30,453 units, respectively, during the same period. With its best-ever monthly sales of 34,863 units in March 2025, Bajaj Auto has topped the e2W industry for consecutive months. In March, Bajaj reported a 26.76% market share, followed by TVS and Ola Electric with 23.3% and 17.9% market share, respectively. However, Ola Electric led in terms of market share for the last fiscal year (FY25), reporting a 30% share, while TVS and Bajaj recorded 21% and 20%, respectively. In a stock exchange filing, Ola Electric reported that the shift to in-house vehicle registrations in February caused temporary disruptions. However, daily registration volumes and backlog clearance are steadily improving as the transition progresses. “We have nearly cleared the February backlog and expect to complete the remaining February–March registrations in April 2025. To support this, we’re scaling up our registration operations and actively coordinating with all external stakeholders,” said Ola Electric. Recently, Ola Electric clarified that the mismatch was due to ongoing negotiations with its vehicle registration vendors. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company also settled a legal issue involving its subsidiary, Ola Electric Technologies Private Limited, and its vehicle registration service provider, Rosmerta Digital Services Ltd. Among the top five EV two-wheelers, Ather Energy is also catching up quickly, with 15,446 units sold in March, whereas Hero MotoCorp sold 7,977 units during the same period. Greaves, the next major player, sold 5,641 units in the same timeframe.
