Market Overview

India Electric Bike Market Overview

The India electric bike market was sized at 504.50 Th units in 2023 and is projected to expand rapidly, reaching 4,042.22 Th units by 2029, at a CAGR of 48.90% over the forecast period (2022–2029). This growth is being driven by rising environmental awareness, lower operating costs versus fuel-based vehicles, ongoing charging infrastructure development, and increasing collaborations and partnerships aimed at scaling production. However, the market continues to face structural constraints, including inadequate charging infrastructure, high upfront purchase costs, battery technology challenges, and market fragmentation, which can slow adoption and create uneven customer experience across regions.

India Electric Bike Market Ecosystem

India Electric Bikes Market Size (in ‘000 Th units), 2016-2022

India sold 231 Th units of electric bikes in 2022, and the market delivered strong momentum across the 2018–2023 historical period, supported significantly by government initiatives such as the FAME-II scheme. Going forward, the expansion of India’s electric bike market is expected to accelerate further as policy support continues to encourage local manufacturing and drive wider adoption of electric two-wheelers nationwide. From a sustainability lens, this shift is material because two-wheelers contribute ~75% of total vehicle emissions in India, and electric bikes offer a cleaner alternative for a large commuter base that relies heavily on two-wheelers for daily mobility. However, the market still faces a key structural constraint—the lack of adequate charging infrastructure, which remains a critical barrier to faster adoption. Competitive intensity is also rising, with multiple players competing aggressively for share. This growth is visible in scooter demand trends: high-speed scooter sales rose sharply to 142,829 units in 2021 from 27,206 in 2020, while low-speed scooter sales increased from 73,529 units in 2020 to 91,142 units in 2021, highlighting broad-based category expansion across both performance segments.

Market Analysis of India Electric Market

FAME

Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme Phase-II was launched by the government in 2019 for a period of five years (2019-2023) under a budget of RS 10,000. The scheme aims to support the electrification of public and shared transportation in India. Under the scheme, the GoI aims to develop 10 lakh e-2 wheelers alongside 7090 e-buses, 5 lakh e-3 wheelers, and 55000 e-4 wheeler passenger cars. Additionally, the scheme will also develop the charging infrastructure in the country

Niti Aayog’s proposal for complete electrification of two-wheelers

The government instructed the Parliament think tank Niti Aayog that all two-wheelers with a displacement capacity under 150 cc have to be electrified by March 2025. The government is anticipated to triple the potential electricity demand for new sets of electrified vehicles by 2040, according to Niti Aayog's energy policy report. The plan was unveiled during a summit hosted by Niti Aayog that brought together major automakers and producers of electric vehicles. Senior representatives from two-wheeler manufacturers were present at the conference. These included the president and managing director of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, TVS Motor Company's chairman, and Bajaj Auto Limited's managing director.

Positive impacts

The policy, mandated by the government think tank, aims to ensure a swift transition of the automotive industry toward electric mobility. The era of electric bikes has reduced the nation's fuel import bill. India is reliant on the import of fuel and combustion engines for internal combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers. Niti Aayog estimates that if electric bikes are used, India's oil import bill could be lowered by INR ~1,200 billion in five to seven years. Since electric two-wheelers run on batteries that are charged locally, they are expected to lower import bills and increase self-sufficiency. By replacing conventional two-wheelers with electric bikes, pollutants like hydrocarbons (HC), carbon oxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen will be released.

Challenge

Following their full electrification, the government plans to prohibit the usage of fuel-powered two-wheelers by 2025. However, there are significant obstacles to this idea. The lack of faster product development across segments makes it doubtful whether India's two-wheeler market will be electrified by 2025. The adoption of electric two-wheelers is hampered by low mileage, expensive vehicle costs, and a lack of adequate charging infrastructure
