India electric two-wheeler market is anticipated
to grow at a CAGR of 29.07% during the forecast period to reach USD1,028.04 million by 2028. Anticipated
growth in the market can be attributed to increasing initiatives toward green
energy coupled with central and state subsidies. Rapidly increasing development
of charging stations, road infrastructure and increase in battery capacity will
lead to the growth of India electric two-wheeler market in the upcoming years.
India has recognized the
need to bring down pollution levels produced by automobiles. Thus, the
government of India is speeding up the acceptance of electric two-wheelers in the market by
providing various central and state subsidies. Electric two-wheelers do not
have an internal combustion engine. Instead, they have rechargeable battery, which
in many cases is removable. India electric two-wheeler market is majorly
divided into scooter/moped and motorcycle, and it is dominated by the
scooter/moped segment (non-registered low speed electric two-wheelers are not
considered). A considerable number of electric two-wheeler manufacturers are
financing greatly in the research and development sector to develop a more
efficient battery with additional performance per charge with lesser charging
time. Furthermore, factors such as ease of travel, comfort, efficiency, low
operating cost, etc., have increased the demand for electric two-wheelers.
The COVID-19 outbreak made an
impact on public health and led to economic crisis across the world. Production
and supply chain was severely impacted by the pandemic. The supply of
lithium-ion batteries got disturbed due to restrictions imposed by the
government of India on shipments coming from China, resulting in stagnant sales
of electric two-wheelers compared to the year 2020. According to the Society of
Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), the government is taking initiatives
for faster adoption of electric vehicles. Due to the lockdown imposed by the
government to prevent the spread of COVID-19, almost all the automotive sectors,
including factories, showrooms and workshops, were closed, witnessing a monumental
decline in overall production and overall sales of automobiles, although sales
of electric two-wheelers have increased due to their rise in popularity among
young generation.
Government Initiatives and
Environmental Consciousness
In recent
years, a shift towards green energy and advanced lithium-ion-based electric
two-wheelers has been noticed. Despite the increase in demand and sales of
electric two-wheelers, there are several factors which restrict the growth of
the segment. As per a study, current prices of electric two-wheelers are higher
than their ICE counterpart with similar performance. Accordingly, for faster adoption
of electric vehicles government is providing subsidies under the FAME II scheme
and independent state EV policies. Other factors include increasing supply of
essential components, declining battery cell prices in conflict with rising
fossil fuel prices, public awareness, and acceptability.
Reduction in Cost
of Ownership
Electric
vehicles can contribute to the reduction in air pollution, carbon emission and
oil dependency in India. Due to fewer moving parts compared to ICE vehicles,
electric two-wheeler requires less maintenance service cost and overall, less
running cost. Also, electric two-wheelers provide a better performance range
per charge compared to the same amount of fuel in ICE vehicles. Electric
two-wheeler manufacturers, along with emerging players, are increasing the
competition while reducing the cost of ownership in the market with their
technologically advanced products, which is expected to aid the growth even
further in upcoming years. In India, around 50% of the middle-class population
considers intra-city travel for their daily need while keeping minimal cost.
A Shift towards
Advanced Technology
In this
technological era, constant innovation and technological advancement are
driving the automotive sector. Advancement in automotive technologies brings
artificial intelligence, more comfort, and advanced features such as brake
assistance, anti-theft system, reverse driving for parking assistance etc.,
high-capacity travel range, less charging time, less maintenance, reduced
complexity, and efficiency to the vehicle. The adoption of lithium-ion battery
is increasing as it provides more reliable features compared to lead acid
battery.
