Hybrid vehicles serve as a bridge in the country's shift to full electric mobility, marking India's incremental steps toward electrification
- The Indian hybrid vehicles market, though not as vast as that for purely electric vehicles, presents a critical stepping stone toward achieving broader goals of fuel efficiency and reduced emissions across different vehicle types, such as passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers. Full hybrids, which can operate on both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor without the need to be plugged in, offer a practical compromise between traditional and fully electric vehicles, providing enhanced fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles.
- In the passenger car segment, full hybrid vehicles are gradually gaining traction among Indian consumers, primarily in the mid to high-end market segments. The appeal of hybrid cars in India lies in their ability to offer significant improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced operational costs without the range anxiety or infrastructure demands associated with pure electric vehicles. However, the growth of HEVs in the passenger car segment has been somewhat constrained by higher initial purchase prices and a limited selection of models, although this is beginning to change as more manufacturers enter the market and technology costs decrease.
- The commercial vehicle segment in India has seen limited but growing interest in hybrid technology, particularly in sectors where environmental concerns and fuel efficiency are becoming increasingly important. Hybrid buses are a notable example, with several cities initiating trials or small-scale deployments of hybrid technology to reduce emissions and fuel consumption in public transportation.
India Hybrid Vehicles Market Trends
India's auto interest rates have shown a consistent downward trend, driven by RBI's measures and evolving lending practices
- In recent times, India's auto interest rate stood at approximately 8.567%, marking a decline from the 8.698% observed in 2021. This slight decrement of about 1.5% continues the trend from the prior year, wherein rates reduced from 9.15% in 2019 to 8.698% in 2021. Factors underpinning these dynamics may encompass monetary policy decisions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), domestic credit demand, and broader macroeconomic conditions.
- During 2017-2023, India's auto interest rate was observed at 9.508%. Over the subsequent years, the rate experienced minor fluctuations, descending slightly to 9.454% in 2018 and then marginally ascending to 9.466% in 2019. However, a more significant decline was observed from 2019 onwards, culminating at 8.567% in 2022. Reports from the RBI suggest that these shifts could be attributed to a combination of monetary easing measures, evolving lending practices, and attempts to bolster economic growth in the face of challenges such as the global pandemic.
- The recent trend analysis of India's auto interest rates anticipates a continued trend of relatively lower interest rates in the coming years. The current decrease to 8.567% in 2022, building on the decline from 9.15% in 2019, reflects a deliberate effort by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to stimulate economic growth. This downward pressure on rates is likely to persist as the RBI continues to employ monetary easing measures and lending practices evolve to support credit demand.
Government initiatives and stringent norms drive rapid growth in the electric vehicle market in India
- India's electric vehicle (EV) market is in a growth phase, with the government actively formulating strategies to combat pollution. The Fame India scheme, launched in 2015, has played a pivotal role in driving vehicle electrification. Building on its success, Fame Phase 2, active till April 2022, further bolstered EV sales, especially in 2021, with the government offering subsidies like INR 10,000 grants for electric cars with battery capacities up to 15 kWh.
- State governments across India are increasingly incorporating electric buses into their fleets, aiming to transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) buses. This move not only cuts operational costs but also curbs carbon emissions and improves air quality. In a notable move, the Delhi government greenlit the procurement of 300 new low-floor electric (AC) buses in March 2021, with 100 of them hitting the roads in January 2022. These initiatives contributed to a significant 62.58% surge in demand for electric commercial vehicles in India in 2022 over 2021.
- The demand for electric cars has surged in recent times, driven by the government's introduction of stringent norms. In August 2021, the Indian government unveiled the Vehicle Scrappage Policy, targeting the phasing out of polluting and unfit vehicles, irrespective of their age. This policy, set to be implemented by 2024, is steering consumers toward electric cars. Additionally, the government has set an ambitious target of having 30% of all cars in India electrified by 2030. These initiatives are poised to propel electric car sales during the 2024-2030 period in India.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Electric Vehicle (EV) | A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. |
BEV | A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models. |
PEV | A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids. |
Plug-in Hybrid EV | A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally. |
Internal combustion engine | An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel. |
Hybrid EV | A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking. |
Commercial Vehicles | Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV). |
Passenger Vehicles | Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat. |
Light Commercial Vehicles | Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category. |
M&HDT | Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category. |
Bus | A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses. |
Diesel | It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed. |
Gasoline | It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug. |
LPG | It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study. |
CNG | It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines. |
HEV | All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices. |
PHEV | PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly. |
Hatchback | These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end. |
Sedan | These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage. |
SUV | Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles. |
MPV | These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive. |
