Key Highlights:
India’s move towards electric mobility is gaining pace. The electric three-wheelers are now leading the transition from petrol, diesel, and CNG vehicles. According to data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), electric three-wheelers made up 62.7% of the market in April 2025, a strong jump from 52.5% in April 2024.
EVs Gaining in the Three-Wheeler Market
The jump in electric three-wheeler sales marks the highest EV adoption rate across all vehicle types in India. In contrast, vehicles using CNG and LPG dropped to a 25.9% market share in April 2025 from 34% a year ago. This decline is largely due to rising CNG prices, which have increased the cost of ownership for buyers.
Strong Sales Growth Backed by Leading Brands
As per Vahan portal data, sales of electric three-wheelers reached 62,533 units in April 2025, up by almost 50% compared to April 2024. Key contributors to this growth include Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, YC Electric, Bajaj Auto, Saera Electric Auto, Dilli Electric Auto, and Piaggio Vehicles.
EVs Slowly Expanding in Other Segments
Electric vehicles are making gradual progress in other markets too:
Policy Changes Affect Two-Wheeler Growth
Under the PM-eDrive scheme, the subsidy for electric two-wheelers was reduced in April 2025 to ₹2,500 per kWh, with a maximum of ₹5,000 per vehicle. The scheme also supports electric buses, trucks, ambulances, and charging stations, and will run until March 2026 with a total budget of ₹10,900 crore.
Decline in ICE Fuel Usage
While electric vehicle growth is uneven across segments, internal combustion engine (ICE) fuel usage is dropping. In April 2025:

CMV360 Says
The rise of electric three-wheelers in India is a positive sign that the country is moving towards electric vehicles when it comes to clean and cost-effective transportation. With over 60% market share, EVs are now the first choice in this segment, mainly because they have low operating costs. The drop in CNG usage also shows how sensitive buyers are to fuel prices. If the government continues to offer policies, stable subsidies, and better charging infrastructure, more people are likely to shift to electric.
