Basic Overview of Initial Cost and Daily Earnings of Rickshaw in Delhi

-Rickshaws are the latest entry in the Indian road and

Transport system. A flexible, non-polluting and affordable

system, they have been playing a significant role in solving

the last mile connectivity issue. Due to the absence of rules

and norms, they have been largely operating very informally.

While the licensing of E-Rickshaws has been given the nod

By the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the

operation of this system is still ambiguous which has

currently led to the ban order by the Delhi High Court.

There exists the issue of monitoring and framing the rule

book for E-Rickshaws for the safety and security of the

commuters using these systems. Policy guidelines are

required on whether E-Rickshaws are an Intermediate Para-

Transit (IPT) system, who is responsible for the licensing

and regulation and how it gets integrated and act as feeder

to the public transport. Specific provisions are required to

address questions on speed, vehicle specifications,

insurance, lane traffic and fare charges. This requires a

policy framework to address the concerns of both e-

rickshaw drivers and its counterparts.

According to the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), electric vehicles’ sale doubled in terms of volume in the FY 2017-18 compared to the previous year, majorly through unregulated E-Rickshaw market, with 850,000 E-Rickshaw sold in the specified period. The drivers of the traditional manually-pulled rickshaws have found E-Rickshaws quicker, quieter and easier to keep running as they require less effort, compared to the pedal-cycle rickshaws. This results in more rides and lesser effort for the driver, making E-Rickshaws a rather beneficial investment for them.

The Indian government is currently focusing on promoting electric vehicles in the public transportation and fleets, with emphasis on two-wheelers and three-wheelers, taxis and buses. One of the biggest hurdles in the growth of electric vehicles in India is the dearth of charging and battery-swap stations. The Ministry of Finance is in the process of finalising a plan to spend approximately US$600 million over a period of five years to upgrade the country’s charging infrastructure as well as to provide better subsidies on electric buses. According to BNEF, India had just 425 public charging stations in 2017 and it is expected that with government and public initiatives this number will boost to 2,800 by 2022.

In terms of segmentation by vehicle type, India E-Rickshaw market has been segmented into Passenger and Load carrier. In 2018, passenger carrier dominated the market and is expected to maintain its lead by the year 2025. With growing working population, the need for efficient transportation network has also increased. Hence, as E-Rickshaw is easily available and offers convenient ride, the number of commuters preferring E-Rickshaw for short distance is increasing. All these factors would help better and increased adoption of E-Rickshaw in major Indian cities.

“Amongst battery type, lead acid holds the major share in 2018 while li-ion is expected to grow considerably during the forecast period.”

Based on battery type, India E-Rickshaw market has been segmented into lead acid and li-ion battery. In 2018, lead acid dominated the battery type segment of India E-Rickshaw, generating revenue of US$ 2.17 billion. Though, lead acid battery continues to keep dominating the market over the forecast period while witnessing the benefits offered by li-ion battery. Li-ion battery is expected to grow at the highest CAGR rate during the projection period.

“Owned E-Rickshaw dominated the Indian E-Rickshaw market”

Based on ownership type the Indian E-Rickshaw market is segregated into owned and rented E-Rickshaw. In 2018, owned E-Rickshaw dominated the market and is expected to remain dominant, however rented E-Rickshaw market is expected to witness high adoption in cities such as Delhi-NCR, and other cities in the South Indian region. High income associated with rented E-Rickshaw, as the driver don’t have to bear the maintenance cost would drive the market for rented E-Rickshaw in India.
