Electric Two Wheeler Sales: 2022

The electric two-wheeler (E2W) market in India saw a decline in sales in December 2022 with 64,348 units sold, a decrease of roughly 16% from the previous month. This drop in demand has been attributed to both customers postponing their purchasing decisions until 2023 and OEMs facing challenges due to the suspension of FAME-related subsidies and potential supply-side disruptions. Despite this setback, the top 10 players in the industry still accounted for 89% of the total registrations in the month.

However, looking at the year-over-year sales, the E2W market in India has seen substantial growth, with a more than 150% increase in sales compared to December 2021. Over the course of CY 2022, the total E2W sales amounted to 6,10,832 units, a significant increase from the 1,43,128 units sold in CY 2021. This shows a more than four-fold growth in E2W sales over the course of the year.

To add to this, the automaker is pushing the boundaries even further by delving into the development of a range of new EVs, boasting power levels ranging from 5 to 25 kW, and even an electrifying three-wheeled vehicle! The future of electric mobility is looking brighter than ever with TVS at the forefront, breaking records and paving the way for a sustainable and exciting future.
