Electric two-wheeler registrations recover in July but very modestly

Electric two-wheeler registrations recover in July but very modestly

Rediff.com   1 Aug 2023

The slow pace has raised doubts about whether the registrations will reach anywhere near either Niti Aayog's ambitious target of 2.4 million vehicles in FY24 or whether they will be closer to the trimmed down industry expectation of around one million. In June, e2W registrations plunged to a mere 44,253, the worst month in more than a year, as companies hiked scooter prices.
