Ola Electric Dominates January 2025 with 25% Market Share and 24,341 Sales – Bhavish Aggarwal’s EV Empire Expands to 4,000 Stores

Published:

Ola Electric has kicked off the year with a commanding 25% market share in India’s electric two-wheeler space for January 2025, selling 24,341 units, according to VAHAN data. That’s a massive 76.4% jump in registrations compared to December, thanks to its aggressive expansion strategy. The company now boasts a 4,000-store sales and service network, making its scooters more accessible than ever.

Gen 3 Scooters Powering Growth

The sharp growth is largely fueled by Ola’s recently launched Gen 3 lineup, which includes its flagship S1 Pro+ models with 5.3kWh and 4kWh battery options priced at ₹1,69,999 and ₹1,54,999. The more affordable S1 Pro (4kWh) comes in at ₹1,34,999, while the S1 X range starts at just ₹79,999 for the 2kWh version, making EV adoption easier for budget-conscious buyers.

A company spokesperson described the numbers as a “strong start to the year”, crediting the success to Ola’s expanding presence beyond metro cities and its focus on both premium and mass-market electric vehicles.

Still Selling Gen 2 Scooters (With Heavy Discounts)

Despite the Gen 3 launch, Ola is not abandoning its Gen 2 lineup just yet. The company is offering discounts up to ₹35,000, bringing prices down to ₹1,14,999 for the S1 Pro and ₹69,999 for the S1 X (2kWh).

What’s New in Gen 3?

The latest generation of Ola scooters comes with several key improvements, including:

✅ New mid-drive motors with chain drive for better efficiency

✅ Integrated motor control unit, increasing peak power by 20%

✅ Dual ABS braking – a first for electric scooters in India

✅ Brake-by-wire system, which optimizes regenerative braking and improves energy recovery by 15%
