The electric two wheeler growth in India

The recent EV registration data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), shows that the electric vehicle market in India is buoyant mainly due to the electric two wheelers. In the financial year 2021-22, the electric two wheeler segment grew by more than five times compared with 2020-21. In the last fiscal, electric two-wheeler retail sales stood at 231,338 units as compared to 41,046 units in the previous one.

The growth rate of the e-two wheeler segment is poised for even a stronger growth from here. A report by Blune – the famous venture capital fund – held that electric two wheeler sales will rise by 24 times in India by 2030 making a market of above $20 billion within a decade.
