India’s electric two-wheeler market showed strong growth in May 2026. According to the latest data, total retail sales reached 1,70,733 units, which is a 62.76% increase compared to May 2025. In addition, sales also grew 14.79% month-on-month from April 2026 numbers.
This steady rise shows that customer interest in electric scooters continues to grow across the country. Moreover, better product options and wider availability have helped brands improve their sales performance.
Electric two-wheeler sales stood at 1,70,733 units in May 2026. This is higher than 1,48,740 units recorded in April 2026.
Perhaps this growth comes from improved demand after April’s slower period. Usually, April sees softer sales due to the new financial year. However, May brings back momentum as buyers return to the market.
At the same time, yearly growth remains strong. Sales in May 2025 stood at 1,04,896 units, which clearly shows how fast the EV segment is expanding.
