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 September—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 Ola’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, and comedian Kunal Kamra have kept the company in the public eye. Financially, Ola Electric’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 company’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.

India's electric two-wheeler market recorded a 29% year-on-year growth in November, with total sales exceeding 118,000 units. However, on a month-on-month basis, the segment registered a nearly 15% decline compared to October, according to Vahan data. Ola Electric retained its position as the market leader with 29,191 units sold, which accounted for 24.54% of the EV two-wheeler market. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company’s market share has seen fluctuations over the past six months. In October, its market share rose to 30% from 27% in September. However, this remains lower than its earlier shares, which were 32% in August, 39% in July, and a peak of 49% in June. TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto remained in close competition in November with sales of 28,200 and 27,400 units, respectively. The two companies also closed the gap with Ola Electric, capturing 23% and 22% of the market share, respectively. Ola Electric’s arch rival Ather Energy secured the fourth position with 15,800 units, while Hero MotoCorp's electric division recorded 3,300 units. Ather, which is also on the verge of listing on the stock exchange, controls 11% share in EV two wheelers space. Similar to its performance in the EV two-wheeler market, Ola Electric’s share price has also seen fluctuations in recent months. In November, its shares were trading at Rs 72.72, nearly 54% lower than their peak of Rs 157.53 in mid-August. However, last week, the stock surged by nearly 30% following the announcement of a new scooter range. This new range, designed primarily for commercial use in commerce and deliveries, is expected to boost the company’s sales in the coming months. In Q2, Ola Electric recorded a 26% decline in its operating revenue to Rs 1,214 crore when compared to Rs 1,644 crore in Q1 FY25. However, the firm registered 39% year-on-year increase in revenue from Rs 873 crore in Q2 FY24. The company posted a net loss of Rs 495 crore during the September quarter.
