Ola Electric has reclaimed its leading position in the electric two-wheeler (EV 2W) segment, capturing a 24.91% market share in January. According to Vahan data, the company sold 24,330 units during the month. TVS Motors took the second spot, selling 23,788 units, just slightly behind Ola. Bajaj Auto, another prominent player in the Indian automobile sector, secured a 21.80% market share with 21,294 units sold in January. This marks a significant turnaround for Ola Electric, as both Bajaj and TVS Motor had surpassed the company by a considerable margin in December. Ola attributes its strong performance to its robust S1 portfolio and the recent expansion of its sales and service network, which now spans 4,000 stores nationwide. An Ola Electric spokesperson commented, “It has been an impressive start to the year for us as we emerged as a clear leader in the EV 2W industry yet again. While we are committed to further cementing our position in the segment, our recently launched Gen-3 portfolio has set new benchmarks in performance and reliability across the 2W industry in India. With our diverse EV propositions across premium and mass-market segments and expansion of our sales network beyond tier-1 and tier-2 cities, Ola Electric will continue to lead India’s transition towards #EndICEAge.” Ather Energy, a Bengaluru-based startup, recorded sales of 12,895 units, capturing a 13.20% market share. The company, led by Tarun Mehta, is also nearing its initial public offering (IPO) after receiving approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Beyond the top four players, companies like Greaves Electric Mobility (3,611 units) and PURE EV (1,650 units) were making efforts to carve out their niche in the competitive market. Hero Motocorp, despite its stronghold in the petrol two-wheeler segment, continued to face challenges in the EV space, selling only 1,615 units. Bgauss Auto (1,451 units) and Revolt Intellicorp (1,060 units) maintained their dedicated customer bases, while Kinetic Green Energy trailed with just 806 units sold.

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.
