EV two-wheeler bookings surge 35% in India during festive month, says Automobile Dealers Association
Bookings for electric scooters rose 35% year‑on‑year amid higher petrol prices, according to the Automobile Dealers Association.
The Automobile Dealers Association (ADA) reported a 35% increase in bookings of electric scooters in India during the current festive month compared with the same period last year, despite a rise in petrol prices.
The growth reflects a broader shift in the Indian two‑wheel market toward electric vehicles (EVs), as consumers seek cost‑effective alternatives to fuel‑powered bikes.
Industry analysts note that the surge aligns with government incentives for EV adoption and expanding charging infrastructure, which are encouraging more buyers to consider electric two‑wheelers.
The ADA expects the momentum to continue into the coming months, projecting further gains in EV two‑wheel sales as manufacturers roll out new models and price points become more competitive.
