In August, traditional two-wheeler manufacturers TVS, Bajaj, and Hero outperformed electric scooter brands Ola and Ather in terms of sales. The surge in sales for the established brands highlights a shift in consumer preference back towards conventional two-wheelers, driven by factors such as competitive pricing, improved technology, and widespread availability.

In a notable shift in the two-wheeler market, TVS, Bajaj, and Hero emerged as the top-selling brands in August, surpassing the sales figures of electric scooter manufacturers Ola and Ather. This change marks a significant milestone for the traditional manufacturers, who have ramped up their efforts in response to the growing competition from electric vehicle (EV) startups.

TVS reported a strong performance with its latest models capturing the interest of buyers due to their advanced features and affordability. Bajaj's recent launches have also been well-received, leveraging their reputation for reliability and performance. Hero, known for its extensive service network and cost-effective options, managed to draw in a substantial number of customers looking for familiar and trusted brands.

Conversely, Ola and Ather, despite their innovative approaches and focus on sustainability, faced challenges in maintaining their market share. Factors contributing to this shift include fluctuations in EV subsidies, supply chain disruptions, and a growing preference among consumers for the well-established infrastructure and service networks of traditional brands.

This development underscores the ongoing evolution in the two-wheeler sector, where established players are increasingly adapting to market trends and consumer demands. It also highlights the need for electric scooter manufacturers to refine their strategies to maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly changing landscape.
