In India, the BYD Seal's launch date has officially been set for March 5, 2024, as confirmed by BYD. The all-electric sedan, BYD Seal's third installation in India, follows the prior introduction of the BYD e6 MPV and the BYD Atto 3 SUV. The proposed starting price for the Seal is Rs 60 lakh (ex-showroom).
The BYD Seal, initially unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023 in India, is based on the e-Platform 3.0, the same platform underpinning the BYD Atto 3. The global standard version of the Seal boasts an impressive 82.5 kWh battery pack that promises a range of up to 570 km - a rating approved by WLTP. The car comes in both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration options.
Among the standout design features, the BYD Seal presents a distinct U-shaped headlight cluster complemented by LED DRLs below, coupled with rear LED taillights featuring a dot matrix LED pattern. Both front and rear bumpers incorporate aerodynamic detailing. The sides reveal a smoothly curved roofline that blends into a compact rear end, suggestive of a fastback style. Anchored by 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, the Seal claims an air drag coefficient of 0.219.
Underscoring its technological prowess, the BYD Seal adopts Cell to Body (CTB) technology where the battery pack integrates directly into the vehicle's chassis. The outcome is an enhanced driving dynamics and handling performance. The Seal's interiors showcase a dual-tone dashboard theme alongside sporty seats. Earning the status of the primary highlight is the considerable 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system, larger than the ones found in the Atto 3 and e6 MPV. A 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system is another notable feature.
Additional high-end features included in the global-spec Seal consist of a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-way electrically adjustable driver's seat complete with memory function, a 6-way electrically adjustable co-driver's seat, ventilated and heated front seats, and dual-zone AC. Moreover, a vehicle-to-load (V2L) feature enables the use of the vehicle's stored energy for other external devices.
From a performance perspective, the global variant of the BYD Seal leverages an 82.5 kWh battery pack, providing two powertrain options. Both the RWD and the AWD versions feature a restricted top speed of 180 kmph, with charging time consistently the same across both versions courtesy of the shared 82.5 kWh battery pack. Please note that the Indian variant of the Seal may differ in terms of specifications from the global version.
Earning its safety credentials, the BYD Seal secured 5-star ratings from Euro NCAP in 2023. The safety kit encompasses seven airbags, a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and an all-encompassing driver assistance system (ADAS), inclusive of adaptive cruise control, lane change and departure assist, and automatic emergency braking. Competing against the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, whilst being considerably affordable than the BMW i4, the BYD Seal's proposed starting price is Rs 60 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Indian market.

Ather Energy Narrows Gap With Ola Electric — Rizta Leads the Charge
In a stunning performance for July 2025, Ather Energy is closing in fast on Ola Electric, with just 526 units separating them. As of July 27, Ola sold approximately 13,712 units (17.2% share), while Ather sold 13,187 units, representing 16.5% of the Indian electric two‑wheeler market
Rizta Powers Ather’s Surge
The Ather Rizta scooter, introduced in April 2024, now contributes nearly 60% of Ather’s total sales volumes and has exceeded 100,000 units sold within a year
Rizta has expanded Ather’s user base across new customer segments and geographies, with an affordable price band of ₹99,999 to ₹1,14,500
Retail Reach & Strategic Edge
Ather has scaled its footprint to 351 centers across India as of March 2025, with plans to reach 700 by FY26 year-end
This expansion supports strong retail penetration beyond traditional metro hubs, fueling its sales momentum.
Supply Headwinds: Ola Slows, Industry Affected
Ola Electric’s shift toward profitability over volume growth has come at the cost of declining market share: down from 19.9% in June to 17.2% by late July
A broader industry slowdown—caused by rare earth magnet export curbs from China—has affected all players, including Ola, Ather, TVS Motor, and Bajaj Auto, triggering a 21.6% drop in EV scooter registrations in July vs. June
Ola’s April–June quarter saw a net loss widen to ₹428 crore on ₹828 crore revenue, down from ₹347 crore a year earlier, as it tightens operations to improve margins
Unlike Ola, Ather has managed to buffer the impact via effective inventory management across its manufacturing units and dealerships
Comparative Snapshot: Ola vs Ather (July 2025)
Despite trailing by just 526 units, Ather's traction represents a marked shift from June, when Ola led by over 5,000 units
What Lies Ahead
Ather's IPO-listed status and reduced losses (₹2.34 billion in Q4) reflect improving financial health, supported by Rizta demand and geographic expansion
Ola Electric, meanwhile, is facing mounting pressure: slide to third place behind legacy players TVS and Bajaj Auto, regulatory scrutiny, and concerns over service and quality issues amid product delays like the Roadster X+
Ongoing disruption in magnet supply chains could further realign competitive positions, enhancing opportunities for agile players like Ather.
Final Thoughts
With a robust product like Rizta and an aggressive expansion roadmap, Ather Energy is right on the heels of Ola Electric in July 2025—a sign that the landscape of India’s EV two-wheeler market is rapidly shifting. Stay tuned to CarTopNews as we track continued changes in sales ranks, model launches, pricing strategies, and regulation-driven trends.
