in April 2024, the electric two-wheeler market witnessed a downturn, with sales totaling just over 64,000 units. This dip reflects the usual trend for April, marking the beginning of the new fiscal year, where sales typically start slow.

However, this year, several factors have contributed to the subdued performance, including the recent reduction in subsidies leading to price hikes by major manufacturers such as TVS, Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy, and Hero MotoCorp.

Despite these challenges, let’s now delve into the top 10 OEMs that have managed to maintain strong sales performance amidst these conditions:

1] OLA ELECTRIC 

In April, Ola Electric maintained its dominant position in the market, selling 33,062 units and capturing a remarkable 52% share. Ola refrained from increasing EV prices despite reduced subsidies, unlike competitors like TVS, Ather Energy, and Bajaj Auto. Despite experiencing a negative month-on-month growth of 35%, Ola Electric continues to lead in market share, a testament to its strategic planning and execution. According to the company’s CEO, in April, one out of every two 2W EVs registered in India was an Ola S1, highlighting the brand’s strong presence and customer preference in the market.

2] TVS MOTOR 

TVS Motor Co secured the second position with sales of 7,653 units. The company witnessed a negative 71% month-on-month decline in sales, likely attributed to the recent price hikes.

However, the two Chetak variants, Urbane and Premium, continued to witness strong demand, attributed to a robust production ramp-up and an expanding dealer network.
