EV Adoption Continues To Accelerate
Crossing the 2 lakh monthly retail milestone and achieving an 11.24% market share marks another important milestone for India’s electric two-wheeler industry. With festive season demand approaching and manufacturers continuing to expand their product portfolios and retail networks, EV penetration is expected to improve further over the coming months.
While challenges such as financing, raw material costs and supply chain fluctuations remain, the current growth trend suggests electric two-wheelers are steadily becoming a mainstream choice for Indian buyers rather than a niche alternative.
