According to GMI Research’s latest report, the India electric vehicle market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 25.5% from 2019-2026. India electric vehicle market generated revenues of USD 1,202 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 9,306 million in 2026.

An electric vehicle uses electric motor for propulsion and uses a battery for powering electric motors instead of an internal combustion engine running on fuel. The BEV derives all the power from battery packs, and some electric vehicle are hybrid vehicles which derive power from both battery pack and internal combustion engine. The EV battery need to be recharged by plugging the vehicle to a charging point.

Currently, the electric vehicles market in India is in a nascent stage and the market is expected to see promising growth in the coming years. The major factors driving India electric vehicle market growth includes rising air pollution level and global warming. The rising fuel cost, rapid depletion of fossil fuels, and the degradation of the environment due to CO2 emission from the combustion of fossil fuels coupled with increasing awareness and concerns for rapid climate change is further propelling the demand for electric vehicles. Also, increase efforts from the government to promote electric vehicles by providing subsidies on electric vehicles are the key factor driving the growth of the India electric vehicle market during the forecast period.

Major automotive players are investing in electric vehicles, and technologies underpinning the development of electric vehicles are evolving rapidly due to an increase in research & development spending. In order to push electric vehicles and increase its penetration, the government is planning to develop proper charging infrastructure for electric vehicles across the country.

The government has also introduced various subsidies and programs to promote electric vehicle adoption. For instance, National Mission for Electric Mobility (NMEM) mission initiated by the government which focuses on increasing the adoption of electric vehicles and provide the roadmap for achieving a substantial penetration of electric vehicles that are environment-friendly by 2020 in India. Oil is the major import commodity, and India is highly dependent on oil imports to address its energy requirements; higher adoption of EV’s will reduce imports of oil and help the country to have a trade surplus.

Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India (FAME) scheme is a part of National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020, is developed by the department of heavy industry in 2015 for assuring a significant growth of electric and hybrid vehicles along with increasing the production of these vehicles. Also, India has a plan to reduce Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 33 to 35 percent by 2030 under the Paris Agreement Climate Commitment, which creates an opportunity for EV in India as EVs and PHEVs running only batteries sources have zero exhaust emission.

Four-Wheelers vehicle type is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. More and more companies are developing BEV cars and planning to launch new models in the coming years as a result of government incentives on EV from a cut on GST to tax-free registration. In addition, Government and private sector’s plan to increase the number of charging stations coupled with the launch of new electric cars with higher range, rapid urbanization, improving living standards, growing concerns for the harmful effects associated with carbon emissions will drive the India electric car market till 2026.

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) held the largest revenue share in 2018 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR % during the forecast period owing to more and more BEV models are being launched coupled with improvement in battery technology helping manufacturers to put more battery packs in less space and enabling them to developed electric cars and two wheelers with longer range.

Lithium-ion Battery vehicles accounted for the largest pie of the market in 2018 and it is projected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate during the forecast period owing to government subsidy and tax benefits for manufacturing li-ion battery in India under government’s M-SIPS scheme along with its features such as higher energy density, fast charging, compact size, lightweight, and longer life cycle. As l-ion batteries are small in size and has a higher energy storage density, which results in increase in travel distance and are more suitable for electric two-wheeler and four-wheeler.

Electric Two-wheelers vehicles with a price range of USD less than 800 is expected to dominate the market in terms of volume as vehicles in this price range are affordable to masses. Electric Two-wheelers vehicles with less than 70 Km driving range is anticipated to lead the market for two-wheelers in terms of volume as a result of mass production of vehicles within this range and its high adoption due to the low cost of these vehicles.

Electrics Cars with more than 200 Km driving range is expected to dominate the market in terms of both value and volume during the forecast period in four wheelers segment due to customers preference for vehicles having longer range which provides flexibility to travel longer distances along with demand from ride-hailing companies such as Ola and Uber for longer range vehicles.
