Bajaj and TVS surpass Ola Electric to lead December two wheeler EV sales The electric two-wheeler market in India fell to 73,316 units in December from 1,19,654 units in November. Despite the slowdown, competition stayed strong as manufacturers aimed to lead the expanding EV market. As per Vahan data, Bajaj Auto led the market with 24.93% of total sales and delivered 18,276 units. Bajaj’s dominance can be attributed to the popularity of the Chetak series. TVS Motor followed with 23.48% market share and sold 17,212 units in December. After a long time, Bajaj and TVS surpassed Ola Electric in monthly sales. Ola Electric held 18.78% of the market in December with 13,769 units sold but saw a noticeable decline from the previous month. In November, the company held a 24.54% market share. Under Bhavish Aggarwal’s leadership, Ola’s market share shifted over the past six months. It rose to 30% in October from 27% in September but remained below earlier levels – 32% in August, 39% in July, and a peak of 49% in June. Despite the dip, Ola Electric retained the highest market share of 35.5% for the entire calendar year 2024. It became the first new-age tech company from India to list on the stock exchange. Currently, its shares trade at Rs 85.94, after peaking at Rs 157 on August 20, 2024. Ather Energy, which recently received the green signal from the market regulator for its initial public offering, held 14.2% of the market and sold 10,421 units.

Ola Electric, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has seen a decline in its market share over the past three months. The Bengaluru-based company’s market share dropped to 27% in September, down from 32% in August and 39% in the previous month. Ola Electric achieved its highest market share during Q1 FY25 (June quarter), reaching a milestone of 49%. As per Vahan data, Ola Electric sold 23,965 units in September compared to 26,928 units in August and 40, 814 units in July. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led firm also hit an 11-month low of 23,965 units. Baja Auto, TVS Motors, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp were the next on the list with 21.27%, 20.26%, 14% and 5% market shares, respectively. This drop in market share follows a report from Goldman Sachs, which projected that Ola Electric is expected to reach EBITDA breakeven by the fiscal year ending March 2027. The decline in sales can be attributed to several factors, including customer complaints, malfunctioning hardware, and software glitches, among others. According to a recent report, Ola Electric received approximately 80,000 customer complaints per month. For the June quarter (Q1FY25), Ola Electric’s revenue from operations grew only 2.8% to Rs 1,644 crore in Q1 FY25 from Rs 1,598 crore in Q4 FY24. The company, however, managed to control its losses by 16.6% to Rs 347 crore in Q1 FY25. During the last fiscal year (FY24), it reported Rs 5,010 crore revenue and Rs 1,584 core loss. Ola Electric, which was listed on the stock exchange in early August, saw its share price drop below Rs 100 on Monday for the first time since its listing. Currently, its shares are trading at around Rs 102 each. The initial public offering (IPO) was priced at Rs 76 per share.

Ola Electric sells 25,000 units in Feb, expands market lead with 28% share EV manufacturer Ola Electric on Friday said that it has sold over 25,000 units in February 2025, maintaining its 28% market share in the electric two-wheeler (2W) segment. In January, Ola Electric reclaimed its top spot in the electric two-wheeler segment with a 24.91% market share. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company made a comeback after Bajaj and TVS Motor overtook it in December. “With our strong scooter portfolio and 4,000-store network, we are seeing growing demand from Tier 3 and 4 towns. With Roadster X deliveries set to begin next month, we aim to accelerate EV adoption further,” said a company spokesperson in a stock exchange filing. As per the latest VAHAN data (12 PM, Friday), Bajaj has sold 20,006 units, followed by TVS with 17,603, Ather Energy with 11,129, and Greaves Electric Mobility with 3,492 units. The data currently shows 8,390 units for Ola Electric, which is expected to be updated by the end of the day. In a strategic decision, Ola Electric recently renegotiated its contracts with vehicle registration agencies. The company stated that this may temporarily affect VAHAN portal numbers, but the move is aimed at reducing costs and optimizing the registration process. Ola’s Futurefactory and EV hub in Tamil Nadu played a key role in its growth, along with its Battery Innovation Centre (BIC) in Bengaluru. With over 750 company-owned stores, Ola Electric claims that it has the largest EV retail network in India.
