Ola Electric Mobility shares will be in focus on Monday as the company's sales saw a sharp decline in November, dropping over 33% from 41,756 units in October to 27,746 units. This performance resulted in Ola capturing a 25.09% market share, leading the segment but with a narrowing margin over rivals TVS and Bajaj Auto.

TVS recorded 26,036 registrations (23.55% share), and Bajaj Auto achieved 24,978 registrations (22.59% share).



The overall electric vehicle (EV) market witnessed an 18% decline in registrations in November compared to October, reflecting a post-festival slump. While Ola’s dip was pronounced, TVS and Bajaj demonstrated greater stability with smaller declines of 13.4% and 12%, respectively.

This trend suggests intensifying competition in the EV space. Year-to-date, Ola remains the market leader with 392,176 vehicles sold, accounting for a 37% share. TVS follows at 19.

5% with 201,966 units, while Bajaj Auto holds a 16.6% share with 173,721 vehicles sold. Ather Energy also holds a noteworthy 11% share, selling over 1 lakh units.

However, Ola’s market share has been fluctuating throughout CY2024, peaking at 49.8% in May before dropping to 28.6% in September and rebounding to 31% in October due to festive discounts.

Despite these numbers, November's steep decline highlights growing competition from rivals like TVS and Bajaj, potentially tightening the race for market leadership in 2025.
