Medial

After consecutive declines in market share, electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ola Electric regained traction in October with sales increasing during the festive period. According to Vahan data, Ola Electric sold 41,605 units in October, up from approximately 24,726 units in Septemberโ€”a 68% month-on-month rise. Subsequently, the Bengaluru-based company's market share also climbed to 30% in October, compared to 27% the previous month. However, this figure remains lower than its earlier market shares, which stood at 32% in August, 39% in July, and 49% in June. In October 2024, the Indian electric two-wheeler market recorded total sales of 139,031 units. Ola Electric led the market with 29,890 units sold, followed by TVS Motors with 28,188 units, Bajaj Auto with 15,984 units, Ather Energy with 7,309 units, and Hero MotoCorp with 7,137 units. Ola Electric has been under significant scrutiny recently. Earlier this month, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) issued a show-cause notice to the company for alleged violations related to consumer rights, misleading advertising, and unfair trade practices. Ola Electric has since addressed almost all after-sales complaints filed with the CCPA, according to a recent clarification. However, the Department of Consumer Affairs is reportedly investigating to confirm these resolutions. Customer complaints and a social media exchange between Olaโ€™s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, and comedian Kunal Kamra have kept the company in the public eye. Financially, Ola Electricโ€™s Q1 FY25 results show a modest 2.8% revenue increase, reaching Rs 1,644 crore, compared to Rs 1,598 crore in Q4 FY24, along with a 16.6% reduction in losses to Rs 347 crore. The companyโ€™s stock, however, is currently trading at Rs 80, nearly 50% below its peak of Rs 157.53 in mid-August, as the market awaits the Q2 results.

Medial

TVS Motor has emerged as the leader in India's electric two-wheeler (E2W) market for April 2025, surpassing Bajaj Auto and Ola Electric, which previously held the top spot. Last month, TVS sold 19,736 units, a 154% year-over-year (YoY) increase with a 22% market share, according to Vahan data. In comparison, Ola Electric sold 19,709 units, a 42% decline from the previous year, and held a 21% market share. Bajaj Auto saw a 151% YoY growth to 19,001 units and secured a 21% market share. Ather Energy saw a 31% increase in sales to 13,167 units, holding a 14% market share. Hero MotoCorp reported a remarkable 540% YoY growth, with 6,123 units sold and a 7% market share. While Ola Electric has increased its market share on a month-on-month basis, the decline in sales can be attributed to increased competition and strategic shifts. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company also faced significant regulatory scrutiny and potential showroom shutdowns due to violations related to trade certificates and vehicle registrations in several states, including Maharashtra. However, the company said it is unaware of any official notice directing the closure of over 100 of its showrooms in Maharashtra. In contrast, traditional players like TVS, Bajaj, and Ather have capitalized on the growing demand for electric two-wheelers, with TVS achieving its best-ever April sales and leading the market for the first time. Bajaj Auto's performance was bolstered by strong sales of its Chetak e-scooter, which topped e-scooter sales in Q4 FY25. Ola Electric will also face competition from Ather Energy in the public market, as the latter recently closed its subscription window and is now set to be listed on the stock exchange.
