Insights on the Indian electric rickshaw controller market segments

On the basis of end use, the Indian electric rickshaw controller market is categorized into OEM and aftermarket. OEM dominated the market in the historical period. The low failure rate of the controllers offered by organized players is expected to continue driving the market growth in this category in the near future.

However, since the GST rollout, the market for electric rickshaws in the country has consolidated. Owing to this, unorganized players in the market have been largely hit by high costs. As a result, consumers have started preferring more reliable products offered by established MNCs and Indian manufacturers. This has further boosted the demand for motors and controllers used in these vehicles. Additionally, with the growing market share of the organized OEMs, the product quality has also improved, further increasing the average age of the vehicles to 3.6 years. This, in turn, has positively affected the growth of the Indian electric rickshaw motor and controller market.

Substandard motors and controllers offered by some local players hinder the market growth

Motors and controllers are considered the most critical components of electric rickshaws and should, therefore, be of high quality. However, some local players import low-quality motors and controllers at a low price from China, compromising the product life and affecting the customers’ purchase decision. Moreover, some key manufacturers offer their motors and controllers with a fixed warranty period. However, due to substandard quality, a significant number of these products get drained out even before the realization of the warranty period. Thus, the availability of substandard products is hindering the growth of the Indian electric rickshaw motor and controller market.

Delhi stands as the largest market for electric rickshaw motors and controllers in India

Delhi held the largest share in the Indian electric rickshaw motor and controller market during the historical period, accounting for over 20% sales volume in 2018. It is expected to dominate the market in 2019 as well. However, Uttar Pradesh is expected to be the largest market for electric rickshaw motors during 2020–2024 and for electric rickshaw controllers in 2023 and 2024, owing to the growing demand for electric rickshaws from Tier-1 cities, Tier-2 cities, and rural–urban fringes in the state.
