Mid-December 2025 has delivered a clear verdict in India’s electric two-wheeler market: TVS is miles ahead of the competition, while Chetak and Ather hold their ground and the trio of Vida, Ola Electric and Ampere wrestle for the remaining share. Backed by VAHAN registration data (excluding Telangana), the mid‑month sales charts underline how quickly India’s EV 2W space is maturing into a multi-brand battlefield rather than a single‑player show.
Mid-December 2025 EV 2W leaderboard
-
TVS: 12,097 units
-
Chetak: 8,707 units
-
Ather: 7,742 units
-
Vida (Hero): 4,918 units
-
Ola Electric: 2,833 units
-
Ampere: 1,768 units
These numbers show TVS with a commanding lead over the rest of the pack, with Chetak and Ather forming a strong second cluster and Vida, Ola and Ampere closely packed behind them. The spread also highlights the growing segmentation of the EV 2W market across price bands, design philosophies and brand positioning.
TVS: Dominance built on scale and trust
TVS topping 12,000 units by mid‑month underlines its transformation from a cautious EV follower to a volume powerhouse. The company’s electric portfolio, led by the iQube series, has struck a balance between familiar scooter ergonomics and modern EV tech, making it an easy switch for existing ICE users.
-
Strong dealer reach in Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 cities is helping TVS tap into non‑metro demand where word‑of‑mouth and service access matter more than hype.
-
Incremental upgrades in range, features and charging options over the past year are paying off in sustained momentum rather than short‑term spikes.
Chetak & Ather: Premium urban heavyweights
Bajaj’s Chetak and Ather Energy together account for more than 16,000 units in just half a month, firmly cementing their position as premium urban EV brands. Chetak’s retro‑modern styling, metal body feel and Bajaj’s legacy appeal resonate strongly with riders looking for a classy yet future‑ready scooter.
-
Ather’s performance‑focused scooters, sharp design and intuitive touchscreen dashboards continue to attract tech‑centric buyers in major cities.
-
Both brands are investing aggressively in fast‑charging networks and exclusive experience centres, which strengthens customer confidence in long‑term ownership.
Vida, Ola & Ampere: The fierce mid‑market contest
Below the top three, Vida, Ola Electric and Ampere are locked in a high‑stakes battle for the mass‑market EV commuter. Vida’s 4,918 units show that Hero MotoCorp’s EV sub‑brand is steadily converting its massive ICE user base into first‑time EV owners, especially in smaller cities and towns.
-
Ola Electric, once the headline‑grabbing disrupter, is now facing stiff competition as buyers weigh factors like service, reliability and real‑world range alongside aggressive pricing.
-
Ampere, with 1,768 units, leans on value pricing and simple, practical scooters aimed at daily commuters who prioritise affordability over loaded feature sets.
What this means for India’s EV future
The mid‑December 2025 numbers confirm that electric two‑wheelers are no longer a niche; they are becoming the default upgrade choice for many scooter buyers across India. With TVS setting the pace, Chetak and Ather pushing the premium envelope, and Vida, Ola and Ampere intensifying price‑and‑feature competition, consumers can expect faster innovation cycles, better charging ecosystems and more attractive finance options in 2026 and beyond.
