Interestingly, a lot of electric scooters are available now in the Indian market. Also, thanks to the FAME II scheme and state EV subsidies, many e-scooters are priced extremely competitively. We expect traditional IC-powered scooters to face heavy competition from their electric counterparts in the coming times.
