Ola Electric holds onto lead over TVS and Bajaj in first three weeks of April
Having taken the lead early in April, Ola has sold 12,546 units in the April 1-21 period, just 84 units ahead of TVS iQube and 841 units more than the Bajaj Chetak. In the intense battle underway at the top, it remains to be seen if Ola maintains the lead over its two archrivals in the upcoming nine days of April 2025.
The first three weeks of April 2025 have seen an intense battle for supremacy underway in the electric two-wheeler industry, which wrapped up FY2025 on a high note with a record 1.14 million units. As per the latest retail sales stats available on the Vahan portal (April 22), a total of 58,559 e-2Ws have been retailed in the April 1-21 period. Ola Electric, which had taken an early lead in the month with 4,294 units, continues to hold onto No. 1 position. . . albeit by a slender margin.
Vahan data shows that Ola with 12,546 units currently has an 84-unit lead over TVS Motor Co (12,462 iQubes) and 841 units over Bajaj Auto (11,705 Chetaks). This gives Ola a current market share of 21%, similar to TVS, and a tad more than Bajaj Auto’s 20 percent. The three OEMs put together have a 62% share of the overall e-2W market in the first three weeks of April.
