For the first time, e-two-wheeler registrations fall in Karnataka
For the first time, Karnataka has recorded a decline in electric two-wheeler registrations. In 2024-25, more than 1.3 lakh e-scooters and bikes were registered - down from more than 1.4 lakh in 2023-24. This dip comes despite zero registration tax on e-two-wheelers and increasing options in the market. In total, more than 12.9 lakh two-wheelers, both electric and petrol, were registered in the state during the year. On average, 3,170 petrol-powered two-wheelers were registered each day, compared to just 370 electric ones. Transport department officials attribute the decline to limited fast-charging infrastructure. "Short-distance urban commuters prefer e-scooters, and we have seen consistent growth. But with slow home charging and few fast-charging options, interest seems to have dipped," a senior official said. Shivasharan, an e-bike owner, said that while his vehicle gave decent range, home charging was slow and fast-charging stations were limited. "I feel nervous using it in the rain or on bad roads," he added. Even as electric two-wheeler registrations slowed, electric cars continued to rise - from 10,299 in 2023-24 to 12,191 in 2024-25. The state had only 186 registered e-cars in 2019-20, crossing the 10,000 mark for the first time last year. While buyers earlier benefited from a lifetime road tax exemption, a 10% tax was introduced in March 2024 for e-cars priced above Rs 25 lakh. E-autos also saw a sharp increase. From just 68 in 2019-20, registrations crossed 5,000 in 2024-25. Exemption from permit requirements encouraged growth, especially among aggregators and individual drivers. However, the state has now made permits mandatory for all new and existing e-autos. The state's push for public transport electrification has led to growth in e-bus registrations. From just two in 2020-21, the number rose to 731 in 2024-25. The transition is driven by state-run road transport corporations under the electric mobility policy. Despite the current setback in the two-wheeler segment, officials believe improved infrastructure and awareness will help revive interest. "As fast-charging networks expand and confidence grows, numbers are likely to bounce back," a transport official said. Discounts scaled back, says industry expert An industry expert said the two-wheeler market "remains stagnant, and within it, the EV segment has also seen a slight decline."A major manufacturer that once offered heavy discounts to improve market share scaled them back last year to focus on profitability, he said. "Two other leading players also reduced their discount-led strategies," the expert added. Reduced subsidies have further dented sales. "Buyers earlier benefited from substantial incentives, but these have been cut sharply, leading to a drop in volumes," he said. Charging infrastructure gaps persist, especially the lack of standardised connectors. While Bengaluru faces fewer issues due to higher EV awareness, less mature markets struggle. Most city users plan their travel and charge at home, he said. New models and the festive season could boost sentiment and bring an uptick in demand, the expert said.
