All you need to know about electric two-wheeler industry in India

Indians love their bikes. They are aspirational for people across age groups – from students to working professionals. The fact that bikes are easier to maneuver than cars in traffic, as well as unmotorable roads, make them perfect for Indian cities, towns and villages. However, the most compelling reason for price-conscious Indians is that bikes are extremely affordable, provide great mileage and are cheaper to maintain than cars. With electric 2 wheeler bikes gaining popularity in the Indian market, manufacturers are trying to match these key criteria, and it seems to be working.

Let’s look at some numbers. In 2019, according to reports by PwC and DataLabs, electric two wheeler in India constituted 16.4% of all electric vehicles sold in India. This figure rose to 20% in 2020. In the previous year, three-wheeler vehicles dominated the electric vehicle industry in India with 83% market share, but it came down to 70% in 2020. 

Three-wheeler vehicles such as auto-rickshaws, being an integral part of India’s public transportation, have seen a much higher adoption. However, two-wheeler bikes have become the focal point for the consumer market.
