TL;DR
India's electric two-wheeler sales are expected to exceed 2 million units in 2026, driven by a 49% year-on-year growth in the first five months.
The electric two-wheeler segment in India is on track for a landmark year, with projections indicating it will surpass 2 million (20 lakh) annual sales for the first time in 2026. This significant growth highlights the segment's rapid expansion, having already recorded 801,277 units sold in the first five months of 2026, a 49 percent increase year-on-year.
This robust performance positions electric two-wheelers as a major driver of India's overall electric vehicle transition, accounting for a substantial portion of all EVs sold over the past decade. The accelerating pace of adoption is further fueled by factors such as rising petrol and CNG prices, making electric alternatives an increasingly attractive and economically viable option for Indian consumers.
