Market analysis
Electric car registrations lag behind e2Ws
Despite the growth in July 2025, electric car registrations still lag behind electric two-wheelers. Poonam Upadhyay, Director at Crisil Ratings, said that e2Ws account for nearly 60% of total EV sales. She also noted that the sustainability of this momentum is a key factor to watch out for due to high acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and range concerns.
Future prospects
Rare earth magnet supply disruptions may impact EV production
Upadhyay also highlighted that over a dozen new EV cars, mostly based on a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) platform, are set to launch. However, persistent rare earth magnet supply disruptions from China could affect these EV model launches and production. These magnets are critical to PMSM used in EVs for their high torque, energy efficiency, and compact size.
