Ola Electric, India’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer, continues to maintain its stronghold in the electric two-wheeler (2W) segment, marking a year of consecutive market leadership. In August, approximately 19,000 units were registered, reflecting a remarkable year-on-year growth of over 400% compared to the same period last year. Ola has consistently held a market share of around 30% throughout August.
The month of August marked a transition from the Gen-1 to Gen-2 phase, and the company also expanded its manufacturing capacity during this time.
Ankush Aggarwal, Chief Business Officer at Ola, commented, “August has been an exciting and busy month for us as we expanded our portfolio to include five scooters, catering to various price points. The expanded S1 lineup is poised to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and propel India toward eco-friendly mobility. With the festive season approaching, we anticipate robust sales and expect the EV industry to experience significant growth due to high consumer demand.”
