The Delhi government has been working to promote electric two-wheelers in the state. It has also recently announced a new policy.
This policy aims to accelerate adoption of EVs across all major vehicle segments; support installation of a comprehensive public and private charging network across Delhi; enable a robust EV supply chain including battery recycling, servicing, and component recovery; improve air quality by reducing reliance on Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles; and ensure fiscal efficiency and transparent implementation.
In fact, the state government is offering incentives to promote the adoption of electric two-wheelers. All this could result in higher EV adoption in the Delhi-NCR region.
According to management, the company is already seeing robust demand, which has resulted in free inventory days down to 3-4 days. Ola is now highly focused on quickly ramping up its supply chain to fulfil these orders.
According to the management, while competitors will need to do more CapEx and new product rollouts, Ola has capacity for both automotive and Gigafactory covered because all the CapEx is now behind. So, the management believes Ola can easily scale up to a million units a year.
The next few years will be defined by two structural shifts happening together: mobility moving from ICE (internal combustion engines) to EV, and energy moving from imported fuels to locally made batteries.
Ola is preparing itself to build across both shifts through electric mobility, cell manufacturing, and energy storage on an integrated platform.
Looking ahead to Q1 FY27, management expects 40,000 to 45,000 orders and consolidated revenue of Rs 5,000 m to Rs 5,500 m, nearly double the Q4 level.
As volumes recover, Ola expects the Auto business to move towards adjusted operating EBITDA and cash flow positivity through FY27.
#2 Ather Energy
Next on our list is Ather Energy's stock.
Ather Energy is an Indian electric vehicle (EV) company that designs and manufactures electric scooters.
To scale up, the company is expanding big with its Factory 3.0 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. This is the largest factory to date, initially planned for a total capacity of 1 m, with 0.5 m going live in Phase 1 itself.
The company expects Phase 1 to commence by the end of this calendar year, Q3 FY27. This plant, in addition to driving the bulk of the company's growth in the coming quarters, will improve unit economics by enabling greater vertical integration than Ather has today, with battery pack assembly, transmission assembly, painting, electronics assembly, and CED coating all coming in-house.

On the financial front, the company reported revenues of Rs 11,747 m for Q4FY26 vs Rs 6,761 m YoY. The net loss dropped to Rs -1,002 m vs Rs -2,344 m YoY.
Moving ahead, management has recently acknowledged the possibility of margin pressures given how commodity prices have moved.
"Expect a short-term impact on margins. But the silver lining in all this cost pressure is that commodities will eventually find their natural level once again," management said in a recent conference call.
Overall, Ather Energy is well-positioned for India's accelerating adoption of electric two-wheelers, supported by expanding charging infrastructure, premium product offerings, and software-led differentiation.
The company is widening its retail footprint, launching new models, and entering new market segments to boost volumes. Government incentives and stricter emission norms could further support demand.
However, intense competition from rivals, pricing pressure, execution risks, and the path to sustained profitability remain key factors investors should monitor.

#3 TVS Motors
Next on the list is TVS Motors' stock.
TVS Motor Company is not a pure-play electric two-wheeler company. TVS is a diversified two- and three-wheeler manufacturer. Its business includes Petrol motorcycles, Petrol scooters, Mopeds, Three-wheelers, and Electric scooters (TVS iQube).
According to reports, the TVS iQube remains the highest-selling electric two-wheeler in India. This positions the company well for sustained demand as Delhi authorities push for higher two-wheeler adoption.
Moving forward, the company has been rapidly expanding its EV product line. It has recently launched TVS iQube S with 4.7 kilowatt.
The management recently stated that the penetration in Q4FY26 in the EV segment was almost 7.8% vis-a-vis 7.1%. For FY26 as a whole, the penetration has moved from 6.2% to 6.6%.
The management believes that the EV 2-wheeler segment will continue to gain market share and that this momentum will persist this year.
Moving ahead, TVS Motors is looking to increase overall capacity by another 1.5 m to reach 8.3 m, as demand remains robust.
