IEA ranks India world’s largest market for electric 3-wheelers, above China

IEA ranks India world’s largest market for electric 3-wheelers, above China

New Delhi, May 18 (IANS) India has been ranked the world’s largest market for electric three-wheelers, above China, for the second straight year with a 20 per cent surge in sales to 7 lakh vehicles in 2024, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The IEA’s Global EV Outlook 2025 report points out that the three-wheeler market is highly concentrated, with China and India accounting for more than 90 per cent of electric and conventional 3W sales.

“Electrification of 3Ws in China has stagnated at less than 15 per cent over the past three years. In 2023, India overtook China to become the world’s largest market for electric 3Ws, and it maintained this position in 2024, with sales growing close to 20 per cent year-on-year to reach nearly 7,00,000 vehicles,” the report states.

The report states that this rising trend is likely to continue with the government’s support under the new PM E-DRIVE scheme, which supported the roll-out of more than 3,00,000 electric 3Ws for commercial use in 2024.

According to the report, China, India, and Southeast Asia remain the world’s largest 2/3W markets, accounting for around 80 per cent of 2024 global sales, with 2/3Ws serving as the primary mode of private passenger transport in these regions.

“India’s increasingly dynamic electric 2W market hosted a total of 220 OEMs in 2024, up from 180 in 2023, although the four market leaders accounted for a combined 80 per cent of the 1.3 million electric 2Ws sold in the country in 2024 (6 per cent of the overall 2W market),” the report said.

While the upfront purchase price of electric 2Ws remains higher on average than that of conventional 2Ws, increasing competition is prompting OEMs to offer more affordable electric models.

“Policy support is also helping to bridge the affordability gap between electric and ICE 2W models, with the new PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) policy continuing financial support formerly provided under both Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME)-II and Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme measures,” the IEA report states.

The scheme is planned to operate until March 2026 to support the roll-out of about 2.5 million electric 2Ws, up from 1 million targeted under the previous FAME-II policy.

On the manufacturing side, the 80 largest electric 2W makers in India accounted for a combined production capacity of 10 million electric 2Ws in 2024, almost 8 times the domestic sales that year. The capacity is expected to increase to 17 million electric 2Ws in the near term, if all OEM announcements come to fruition.

The IEA report also states that total sales of electric cars in India increased by a mere 2 per cent to around 1,00,000 units in 2024.

Sales in India grew 45 per cent year-on-year, nearing 35,000 electric car sales for the first quarter of 2025.

“In India, high import duties on EVs and the availability of locally made, affordable electric models meant the share of Chinese imports in the country’s EV sales remained below 15 per cent in 2024.

“While the cheapest battery electric car model was produced locally by a Chinese OEM (SAIC’s city car, the MG Comet EV, priced under $8,000), the average price of imported Chinese BEVs was twice that of those made by domestic manufacturers,” the report pointed out.

In 2024, all battery electric vehicle (BEV) models manufactured by Indian carmakers started below $20,000, while none of the imported Chinese BEV models were priced under that threshold.

Overall, the average price gap between battery electric and ICE cars fell below 15 per cent for small cars and 25 per cent for SUVs in 2024.

IEA said India has also seen rapid growth in electric bus deployment since 2020, with the number jumping nearly 4-fold from below 3,000 to more than 11,500 at the end of 2024.
