5. Ola Electric
Ola Electric, once a dominant player in India's EV scooter market, has seen a significant drop in sales since last year. The company's CEO, Bhavish Agarwal, has acknowledged that service-related challenges have affected customer trust, rather than product quality itself.
Sales dropped to 7,516 units in January 2026 compared to 24,027 units during the same period last year. This also includes the sale of its Roadster EV motorcycle. The declining market share highlights the need for improved customer support and service infrastructure to regain buyer confidence.
4. Hero MotoCorp (Vida)
Hero MotoCorp's electric sub-brand Vida has recorded impressive growth. The company sold 13,274 units in January 2026 compared to just 1,626 units in January 2025 - a remarkable 716% year-on-year growth. This growth indicates increasing acceptance of Vida scooters and suggests that traditional manufacturers are gaining momentum in the EV space.
3. Ather Energy
Ather Energy continues to strengthen its position as a trusted EV brand. Its family-oriented Rizta electric scooter has gained strong popularity among urban buyers, driving sales. Ather reported 21,923 units sold in January 2026 compared to 13,097 units in January 2025. The brand's focus is on software integration, OTA updates, and connected features through the Ather Stack ecosystem. This enhances the riding and ownership experience of Ather customers.
2. Bajaj Auto
Bajaj Auto has seen steady growth with its Chetak electric scooter lineup. Known for its high-quality body construction, durability, and practicality, the Chetak has appealed to buyers seeking reliability in a traditional appeal.
Bajaj Auto recorded sales of 25,520 units in January 2026, marking an 18.9% year-on-year growth compared to 21,470 units during the same period last year. The recent launch of a more affordable variant of the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter is expected to boost sales volumes in the coming months.
1. TVS Motor Company
TVS Motor Company is dominating the electric scooter market with its iQube lineup. Known for practicality, reliable performance, and family-friendly appeal, the iQube has successfully overtaken Ola Electric's earlier dominance.
TVS recorded 34,440 units sold in January 2026, reflecting a strong 43.3% year-on-year growth. The company is also expected to expand its EV portfolio further by 2026, potentially strengthening its leadership in the segment.

Manufacturers are actively capitalising on this growing shift, resulting in increased market share for several brands. Looking ahead, these companies are expected to expand their product lineups, offering more variety and gradually reducing the dominance of traditional petrol-powered scooters in the market.
