The Decline: Ola, Ather, Okinawa Affected
Three prominent electric vehicle manufacturers, Ola, Ather, and Okinawa, have found themselves navigating through rough waters this September.
The decline in their sales can be attributed to various factors, including supply chain disruptions, component shortages, and the impact of the ongoing semiconductor crisis. These companies, known for their innovative electric scooters, saw a decline in consumer interest and purchases due to these external challenges.
The surge of TVS, Bajaj, Ampere, Hero
On the flip side, there were clear winners in the market during September.
TVS, Bajaj, Ampere, Hero, and Revolt emerged as frontrunners, registering a significant spike in sales. Their success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including strategic marketing, a strong age-old trust among the elderly population, and a strong dealer network. These companies effectively capitalized on consumer demand, demonstrating the industry’s adaptability.
A Silver Lining to the declining sales figure
With the festival session kicking in the sales figures are expected to increase and we can see the glory days of electric vehicles back. Meanwhile, the announcement of new vehicles from Ola’s end could also see a hike given the fact that many people have booked their vehicles and must have been waiting for their deliveries.
