Hero Electric, which earlier held the top spot, has slipped to the third position; yet has managed to sell 89,165 units. This displacement can be credited to the withdrawal of the FAME subsidies.

TVS with its sole iQube premium electric scooter offering has managed to sell 80,565 units and the numbers could only go higher thanks to a lineup of EVs from the company that are planned to come in FY2024. 

Ather Energy has found 76,277 buyers in FY2023 and the company has new products in the pipeline which could make it cross the 1 lakh units sales milestone soon. Bajaj’s Chetak premium electric scooters were brought home by 28,098 owners. The company expects to boost these numbers with the recent updates and also some new experience touchpoints.
