Why double-digit EV share matters

Electric two-wheelers accounted for 10.6 percent of overall two-wheeler registrations in June, up from 9.3 percent in May. Crossing double-digit penetration is important because it suggests EVs are moving beyond early-adopter demand and becoming a regular part of the mainstream scooter and commuter-bike conversation.

What it means for buyers and the industry

The June ranking also shows how the market is maturing. TVS and Bajaj together accounted for nearly half of June electric two-wheeler registrations, while Ather held third. Hero MotoCorp's volumes also strengthened, and Ola Electric's share was lower than a year earlier. For buyers, this means more established brands, larger service networks and wider product choices are now shaping the EV decision.
