Electric Two-Wheeler Sales Increasing in India
A media Report Quoting a report by investment banking firm Jefferies, it has been said that about four years ago, the share of electric two-wheelers in the total sales of two-wheelers was only 0.4 percent. At the beginning of last year, it had increased to 5.4 percent. The main reasons behind this were the increase in subsidy and new launches. However, this report states that due to the reduction in incentives, this share has remained in the range of four to seven percent in the last 24 months. Electric two-wheeler companies have also reduced the prices of their products. Ola Electric ranks first in this segment.
In the first quarter of the current financial year, the company’s share had increased to about 49 percent. However, Jefferies report states that last month Ola Electric’s share has decreased and it fell to 31 percent.
