In March, India saw a surge in registrations of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly electric two-wheelers, as consumers rushed to take advantage of price reductions and beat the deadline for revised subsidy schemes. Total EV registrations reached a record high of 175,000 units, with electric two-wheeler sales crossing 100,000 units. The surge is attributed to price reductions by leading manufacturers and a drop in battery prices. The Indian government also recently announced a ₹500 crore ($66.7 million) Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme for the adoption of electric two- and three-wheelers.
