Impact of the lockdown on high-speed E2W registrations
Before we go to the prices of E2Ws after restructured FAME-II Scheme, let us first look at the impact of the lockdown on highspeed E2W registrations.
The high-speed electric vehicles witnessed a growth of 47%, with 41,048 units being sold in FY2021 as opposed to 27,787 units sold in FY2020. The share of HS E2Ws in the overall E2W sales went up from 20% in FY2020 to 28% in FY2021.
Whereas the Low speed (LS) E2Ws witnessed a decline of17.9% s FY2020. But however they are most affordable, there is no need for RTO registration, etc make them attractive to the buyers even today.
Key market drivers
The industry has witnessed a strong government push over the last two years to increase EV penetration in India. This push can be observed in terms of incentives offered under the FAME-II scheme and waiving off registration fees and road tax by many states.
The rise in fuel prices has boosted E2W sales as consumers are looking for alternatives. If we take an example of Maharashtra from December 2020 to March 2021, registrations for HS E2Ws increased by 94.16% and in the same period, registrations for ICE 2-wheelers declined by 18.4%. The rise in the petrol prices increases from INR 89.16/litre to a high of INR 97.57/litre in just 3 months.
