While both the E2W and the E3W markets grew Month on Month during March 2024, the electric car registrations seem to have hit a roadblock

FAME, no FAME, or more FAME, has not affected the electric vehicle sales in India, as the sector broke all records from the past during March 2024. With 50,538 registered electric two wheelers (E2Ws) Ola Electric lead from the front in the E2W segment, while Mahindra was number one in the electric three wheeler (E3W) space, and Tata on the top in the electric cars segment.

Delhi-headquartered Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM) has become the highlight of the month. The company registered 2,247 E3Ws in March 2024, up from 498 the previous month. The start-up has joined the league of legacy companies Mahindra, Bajaj, and Piaggio. These are the only E3W OEMs to have registered over 2,000 units in March 2024.
