Demand for commercial EVs likely to skyrocket🔌
Demand for electric vehicles for commercial use is estimated to increase 15 times in the next six months from pre-pandemic times. The growth will be driven by the spike in petrol and diesel prices, incentives rolled out by governments, and ecommerce firms electrifying their last-mile delivery fleets.
Given the rapid growth in ecommerce—accelerated by the pandemic—up to eight million vehicles are expected to be on the road in the urban delivery segment by 2030, according to a Niti Aayog study.
If India were to fully electrify its urban delivery fleet, the country’s EV financing industry would be worth an estimated Rs 3.7 lakh crore by then.
