at the start of, India’s electric two-wheeler market in 2025
In 2025, India recorded total EV sales of 2,270,425 units across all zero-emission vehicle categories, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 16 percent. Electric scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds together contributed 1.28 million units, accounting for 56 percent of total EV volumes, although this was slightly lower than the 59 percent share seen in 2024.
Despite a narrowing price gap between petrol two-wheelers and electric models due to lower GST, the segment still grew by 11 percent on a high base. With 20.29 million two-wheelers sold in India during 2025, electric two-wheelers achieved a penetration rate of 6.30 percent, up from 6.07 percent in the previous year.
Market growth was partially held back by the sharp decline in sales from last year’s segment leader, Ola Electric, whose volumes fell by 51 percent to below 200,000 units. This created room for established players such as Bajaj Auto to strengthen their leadership through products like the Chetak C25.
