TL;DR
Indian electric two-wheeler sales exceeded 1 million units in the first half of 2026, showing a 54% growth, and are poised to reach 2 million by year-end.
The Indian electric two-wheeler industry has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 1 million unit sales within the first 187 days of 2026. This figure, based on actual retail registrations from January 1 to July 6, represents a 54% jump over the same period in 2025, with 1,005,279 electric scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds registered on the Vahan portal.
The industry is now on track to potentially cross the 2 million unit mark by the end of 2026, a target that would solidify electric two-wheelers as a mainstream category rather than a niche segment. The rapid growth is attributed to factors like the extension of the PM E-DRIVE demand incentives for electric two-wheelers until July 31, 2026, and recent increases in petrol prices.
