Key Market Trends
Growing Adoption of Electric Buses to Drive Demand in the Market
The government of India has undertaken multiple initiatives to promote the manufacturing and adoption of electric vehicles in India to reduce emissions pertaining to international conventions and develop e-mobility in the wake of rapid urbanization.
- The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) and Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles in India (FAME I and II) helped create the initial interest and exposure for electric mobility. For instance, in phase two of FAME, the government announced an outlay of USD 1.4 billion through 2022. This phase focuses on the electrification of public and shared transportation through subsidizing 7,090 e-buses, 500,000 electric three-wheelers, 550,000 electric passenger vehicles, and 1,000,000 electric two-wheelers.
To promote the domestic electric vehicle industry, the Indian government has provided tax exemptions and subsidies to EV manufacturers and consumers. As per the phased manufacturing proposal, the government has imposed a 15% customs duty on parts that are used to manufacture electric vehicles and 10% on imported lithium-ion cells. The revised duty under PMP has been proposed from April 2021.
States have also launched policies that support powertrain electrification by stimulating the demand, local manufacturing, research and development (R&D), and infrastructure development. Several states, like Delhi, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, have formulated their electric vehicle policies, while others are in the process of doing so. For instance,
- According to the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2020, the government plans to have at least 50% e-buses for all new stage carriage buses and aims for 25% of the new vehicles to be electric by 2024. In March 2021, the Delhi government announced its plans to introduce an interest subvention of up to 5% for electric vehicle (EV) purchases in the state. This initiative has been taken to promote the Delhi government's EV policy offering financial incentives on all categories of e-vehicles, i.e., two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, goods carriers, and electric rickshaws.
- In February 2021, the Delhi government announced a subsidy of INR 30,000 for promoting e-rickshaws as last-mile connectivity in Delhi. This, in turn, has led to the proliferation in their demand in the city, further benefiting the market.
Owing to the above-mentioned instances and developments, rising government initiatives are expected to enhance demand in the market over the forecast period.

Electric Two-wheeler Vehicles Expected to have Optimistic Growth
Though the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lockdowns and supply chain disruptions, increasing petrol and diesel prices, government incentives, and an increase in spending for setting up charging infrastructure in the country are expected to drive demand. For instance, In FY 2020, around 152,000 units of electric two-wheelers were sold in the country compared to 126,000 units sold in FY 2019.
In the electric two-wheeler segment, electric motorcycles and scooters are popular modes. Like conventional two-wheelers, they are easier to navigate through congested roads. From a speed point of view, low-speed (up to 25 km/hr.) and medium-speed electric two-wheelers (up to 40 kmph) with conventional lead-acid batteries are projected to dominate the market over the forecast period.
This is mainly because, in terms of upfront cost, they are already on par with ICE vehicles. However, with more companies becoming eligible for FAME-II incentives, several new models are expected to be operated in the market in the coming years. Some of the key two-wheeler rental companies have already started investing heavily in expanding their fleet of vehicles to cater to the rising demand in the country. For instance,
- In February 2021, Bounce, a bike rental startup in the country, made an announcement that it was planning to launch its electric scooter in the country. However, the expected launch date has not been declared. Price is expected to be around INR 55,000 and an additional INR 1,450 per month for maintenance, including battery maintenance.
Several local major players in the country are investing heavily to enhance their production capacity of electric two-wheelers in the country to cater to enhancing the demand in the country. For instance,
