India’s electric two-wheeler retail sales reached 11.2 lakh in April–September 2026, versus 6.40 lakh a year earlier, Autocar India reported on 9 October.
Key points
- Autocar India reported 11.2 lakh electric two-wheeler retail sales for April–September 2026, compared with 6.40 lakh in the same 2025 period.
- The report places September retail sales at 2.07 lakh; that monthly number must be kept separate from the six-month total.
- TVS separately reported 65,799 electric two-wheeler sales in September; company-reported sales and industry retail figures are different series.
Keep the periods separate
The reported figures compare the same six months in both years. A six-month retail total should not be described as a full-year result or mixed with a differently defined company sales series.
What the manufacturer itself reported
TVS Motor’s official 1 October release reports 65,799 electric two-wheeler sales in September 2026, versus 31,266 a year earlier. It separately gives quarterly EV sales of about 186,000. These are the company’s published sales figures; they should not be presented as an independently verified, identical measure of the industry retail dataset. The release provides useful company context rather than a replacement for that dataset.
What this does—and does not—tell a buyer
A rising industry total does not determine which scooter suits a household. A practical shortlist still needs questions about where charging will happen, the applicable battery warranty, local servicing, and the complete written purchase terms. Those are checks to make with a dealer or manufacturer, not conclusions established by an industry sales total. This article does not rank individual models or certify real-world range.
