What to watch
- State/central subsidy policy changes or GST adjustments on EVs
- Battery raw-material (lithium/cell) price moves affecting sticker prices
- New PV launches from Tata, Mahindra, and foreign OEM entrants
- Monthly penetration crossing 15% (bullish) or slipping below 11% (bearish)
- Rural/gig-fleet electrification tenders and e-3W financing schemes
- Track FADA July-August retail prints for YoY deceleration or acceleration versus the 62.7% base
- Monitor OEM segment-share shifts—whether e-3W and PV grow faster than e-2W
- Watch dealer inventory and discounting signals for demand-pull versus channel-stuffing
- Assess charging-infrastructure and financing announcements underpinning PV adoption
