1.28M Electric Two-Wheelers Sold in India 2025, Record e2W Sales & Top Brands

📈 India’s EV Two-Wheeler Breakthrough in 2025

In CY2025, the Indian electric vehicle (EV) industry achieved a new annual retail milestone of 2.27 million units, with electric two-wheelers, scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds, accounting for approximately 1.28 million units sold locally, a double-digit growth year-on-year. This represents about 56 % of all EV sales in India for the year, underscoring the e-2W segment’s dominant role in the nation’s electrification story.

India’s EV two-wheeler market hit an all-time high in CY2025, showcasing real adoption momentum.

🇮🇳 Mass Adoption Beyond Early Stage

Electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws) accounted for over half of all electric vehicle registrations in India in 2025. While this share was slightly lower than in 2024 (59 %), the incremental growth on an already high base, from 1.14 million to 1.28 million units, indicates sustained momentum and marketplace acceptance.

This 11 % year-on-year uplift in e-2W sales occurred even as the price gap between internal-combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers and EVs narrowed due to tax changes.

🔝 Top Performing Brands & Market Shifts

📊 TVS Motor Company – New e-2W Leader

• TVS Motor Co emerged as the top retail seller in 2025, overtaking long-time category frontrunner Ola Electric.
• The TVS iQube series and Orbiter e-scooters delivered 298,867 units, an approximate 35 % YoY growth over 2024, its best annual performance to date.
• TVS held an estimated ≈23 % market share in e-2W retail sales.

📉 Ola Electric, Market Shifts, Declining Share

• Ola Electric, once the dominant player, saw its 2025 sales fall by ~51 %, dropping its total to under 200,000 units.
• This significant decline contributed to a reshuffle in leadership across the e-2W market.

📈 Bajaj Auto, Strong Growth & Higher Position

• Bajaj Auto, including its Chetak EV and allied e-2W offerings, reported 269,836 units in 2025, a 39 % YoY increase, marking its highest annual total ever.
• This performance elevated Bajaj into the No. 2 e-2W OEM position for the year.

⚡ Ather Energy, Premium EV Momentum

• Ather Energy also recorded its best-ever annual sales, supported by strong demand for its Rizta range.
• Ather continued to carve out a premium performance EV niche.

🚀 Hero MotoCorp, Rapid Growth from Low Base

• Hero MotoCorp’s EV line, led by the Vida brand, posted substantial growth in 2025, with strong monthly results, including a very high percentage uplift.

📊 Market Context: Why 2025 Was a Turning Point

🔌 Penetration Rising, Infrastructure Expanding

• e-2W gained penetration as charging and battery swap infrastructure expanded, helping buyers overcome range and convenience concerns.
• OEMs increased investment in dealer networks and service touchpoints.

📄 Policy & Tax Dynamics

• Lower GST on EVs and state incentives continued to play a role, though some subsidy adjustments led to a price gap shrink with ICE two-wheelers.

📍 Brand Reliability & Legacy Advantage

• Legacy two-wheeler makers with wide service networks (TVS, Bajaj, Hero) benefited from brand trust and after-sales assurance, a key differentiator in EV adoption.

🚗 What This Means for Indian EV Mobility

India’s record 1.28 million e-2Ws sold in 2025 shows:

• Electric mobility is no longer niche, it’s mainstream.
• Buyers trust quality product experience and service support, not just subsidies.
• Manufacturers are competing on tech, network and reliability, not only price.

Overall EV adoption reached 6.30 % penetration within the broader two-wheeler market, up from around 6.07 % in 2024.
