India’s electric two-wheeler market is booming, with sales surpassing 8.9 lakh units in 2024 and projected to grow further in 2025, driven by government incentives like the PM eDrive scheme and expanding charging infrastructure. For budget-conscious buyers, EVs under Rs 1 lakh offer an eco-friendly alternative to petrol scooters, with low running costs (as low as Rs 0.15-0.25 per km) and zero emissions. These models are ideal for urban commutes, last-mile delivery, and short trips, often qualifying for subsidies up to Rs 10,000-20,000 under FAME-III.
