Greaves Electric Mobility Surges Past Ola Electric in EV Two-Wheeler Sales Race
Overview

Greaves Electric Mobility (GEM), the EV arm of Greaves Cotton, has surpassed Ola Electric in electric two-wheeler sales for the first week of November, pushing Ola out of the top five. GEM sold 1,580 units compared to Ola's 1,335, according to Vahan data. This shift follows GEM's record October sales and strong growth from its Ampere brand, while Ola Electric faces market share loss amidst after-sales service concerns and revised lower financial projections.

Greaves Electric Mobility (GEM), a subsidiary of Greaves Cotton, has achieved a significant milestone by overtaking Ola Electric in electric two-wheeler (E2W) sales during the first week of November. Vahan portal data shows GEM sold 1,580 units, surpassing Ola Electric's 1,335 units. This marks the first time Ola Electric has fallen out of the top five E2W manufacturers. GEM's recent success is attributed to its strong October sales, its highest ever, and the consistent growth of its Ampere brand, which saw a 60% year-on-year increase in the first ten months of 2025. The company's flagship Nexus scooter, priced around ₹1,19,900, and its strategic retail financing partnerships have been key drivers.

Impact
This development highlights the dynamic and fiercely competitive nature of India's electric two-wheeler market. GEM's aggressive strategy and product offerings are proving effective against established players. Conversely, Ola Electric is grappling with declining market share, customer complaints regarding after-sales service, and has consequently lowered its revenue and sales volume targets for FY26. The shift indicates potential re-evaluation of market leadership and investment prospects within the EV sector. Rating: 7/10.
