India’s electric two-wheeler market saw a steady rise in August 2025, with sales reaching 1,04,453 units. This marked an increase compared to July, showing that the sector continues to maintain stability despite several external challenges. The growth may not have been as sharp as expected, but factors such as rising fuel prices, better availability of electric vehicles, and strong government backing for a carbon-free future are supporting consistent demand.
TVS Motor emerged as the leading manufacturer in August, selling 24,135 units and taking a market share of 23.11 percent. The company’s consistent focus on product quality, reliable customer service, and timely deliveries has helped it secure the top spot in the market. Ola Electric stood second with sales of 18,975 units, capturing an 18.17 percent market share. Ather Energy followed closely in third position, with 17,887 units sold and a 17.12 percent share. Hero Motocorp secured the fourth position by selling 13,323 units, translating into a 12.76 percent share, while Bajaj Auto recorded sales of 11,776 units, gaining an 11.27 percent share. Together, these five manufacturers accounted for 86,096 units, which made up nearly 81.43 percent of the total electric two-wheeler sales for the month.
Other companies also contributed to the overall performance. Greaves Electric Mobility reported sales of 4,498 units, while Pur Energy delivered 1,779 units as part of its goal of offering affordable electric vehicles to customers. BGauss Auto, River Mobility, and Kinetic Green Energy & Power Solutions continued to supply steady volumes to the market. Meanwhile, companies like E-Sprinto Green Energy and Revolt Intellicorp are working to strengthen their position by bringing in new models with improved features and competitive pricing. Their customer-first approach is gradually helping them build trust among buyers and expand their reach.
While the domestic market is showing resilience, international developments are creating some concerns. The recent tariff announcements by the United States on Indian imports may increase the cost of essential EV parts such as electronic components and battery materials. Although India has made progress in localizing a large portion of EV manufacturing, higher input costs could either push up prices for customers or create financial stress for companies. At the same time, the GST Council has maintained the 5 percent tax rate for essential items like electric vehicles under its two-slab structure, where the other standard rate is 18 percent. This has helped keep EVs more affordable for consumers compared to many other vehicle categories.
Despite these challenges, the outlook for India’s electric two-wheeler industry remains encouraging. Government initiatives such as the FAME scheme, state-level subsidies, reduced GST, and efforts to build domestic battery production are all working together to strengthen the sector. These measures are not only increasing consumer interest but also attracting new investments into the industry. Even though global uncertainties and rising costs pose short-term hurdles, India’s electric two-wheeler market continues to show strong potential for long-term growth. The momentum seen in August reflects a sector that is building on solid policy support, improving technology, and a clear shift toward sustainable mobility. With manufacturers focusing on innovation and customers increasingly open to cleaner transport options, the electric two-wheeler segment is well-positioned to play a key role in India’s transition to a greener future.
