August 2026 electric two-wheeler sales: OEM breakdown
TVS Motor Co: 48,873 units
TVS Motor Company sold 48,873 electric scooters last month – up 91 percent year-on-year and good for a 27 percent market share, up from 23 percent a year ago. While this represents a 12 percent drop from July’s record 55,823 units, cumulative eight-month sales of 3,56,579 units have already exceeded TVS’s full-year CY2025 total of 3,15,082 units. As it stands, TVS is on course to cross 5,25,000 annual electric scooter sales for the first time in 2026.
Bajaj Auto: 41,019 units
Bajaj Auto delivered 41,019 Chetak units in August – a 235 percent year-on-year increase. However, it is worth noting that the comparison is skewed by supply chain disruptions that affected production in August 2025. Like TVS, Bajaj’s sales so far this year, at 3,05,226 units, have already surpassed the brand’s full-year total of 2,79,687 units from 2025. It is now on track to cross 4 lakh annual EV sales for the first time.
Ather Energy: 28,708 units
Ather sold 28,708 units in August, up 49 percent year-on-year, for a 16 percent market share. Cumulative eight-month sales of 2,29,099 units are up 83 percent year-on-year. With the recently introduced Konarc, the brand will be looking to significantly accelerate volumes heading into the festive season.
Vida: 18,978 units
Vida delivered 18,978 units in August, up 38 percent year-on-year but down 17 percent from its best-ever month of 22,989 units in July. Sales from January to August, at 1,48,069 units, are up 151 percent year-on-year, putting the brand on course to cross 2 lakh annual EV sales for the first time.
Ola Electric: 13,849 units
Ola Electric sold 13,849 units in August – down 29 percent from last August and making it the only top-10 brand to register a decline.
