Bookings for electric two‑wheelers rose 35% year‑on‑year despite higher petrol prices, according to the Automobile Dealers Association.
Electric scooter bookings in India jumped 35% in the current festive month compared with the same period last year, the Automobile Dealers Association (ADA) reported. The surge comes despite a recent rise in petrol prices, which traditionally dampens demand for two‑wheelers.
The association said the increase reflects growing consumer interest in electric two‑wheelers as a cost‑effective alternative to conventional petrol‑run scooters. Overall sales of EV two‑wheelers have been on an upward trajectory in the Indian market.
Industry analysts attribute the rise to a combination of higher fuel costs, expanding charging infrastructure and supportive government incentives for electric mobility. The trend underscores a shift in buyer preferences toward greener, cheaper‑to‑run vehicles.
