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.

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.
