| Calendar Year | Annual Unit Registrations | Market Share Percentage | Rank Position |
| 2024 | 4,29,187 units | ~35% | No. 1 |

Overall Market Context and Outlook
Despite shifting individual manufacturer rankings, TVS and Ola Electric remain the only two Indian electric vehicle manufacturers to cross the one-million cumulative registration milestone.Combined, both OEMs account for roughly 22.45 lakh units, or approximately 40 percent of total electric two-wheeler registrations in India since 2020.
The broader Indian electric two-wheeler industry continues to expand, maintaining a monthly average exceeding 1.63 lakh registrations in 2026. Driven by expanding product availability, diversified price points, and deeper distribution networks across Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, the overall segment remains on course to approach the 20-lakh annual sales mark for the first time.
