After four months of witnessing reduction in sales, electric two-wheeler industry has seen 34 per cent month-on-month increase in the sales with 106,949 unit sold in July as compared to 79,868 units in June this year.

With this, there has been a 96 per cent year-on-year increase when compared to 54,616 units sold in the same period last year. The growth comes in the backdrop of now extended Electric Mobility Pormotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 which was to be expired on July 31.

The two-wheeler segment maintained the strong ratio at a 60 per cent share of the total 1,78,948 EVs sold in India in July 2024, and helped drive overall industry numbers by 53 per cent YoY, as per data published on the government of India's Vahan website on August 1.

The seven-month retail sales data table reveals that the lowest monthly sales in the year to date were in April 2024 – 65,529 units – following the closure of the FAME II subsidy scheme on March 31. This also explains why March 2024 with 140,309 units was the month with the highest-ever e-two-wheeler sales.
