The brand move

India's electric two-wheeler registrations surged 74% YoY in June 2026 to 1.91 lakh units, crossing 10% penetration. TVS led with 25% share, followed by Bajaj, Ather and Hero, while Ola Electric ceded market share.

The numbers

  • 74% YoY growth
  • 1.91 lakh units
  • TVS 46,999 units / 25% share
  • Bajaj 43,234 units / 23%
  • Ather 31,143 units / 16%
  • Hero 21,761 units / 11%
  • Ola 16,144 units / 8%
  • E2W penetration ~10.5%

Why it matters for the brand

Ola Electric's share erosion to 8% creates a potential consolidation or partnership window, while Ather's steady 16% makes it an attractive scale-up or acquisition target for players seeking a fast-growing E2W foothold.
