By Robin Kumar Attri
E-rickshaw sales dropped to 13,823 units in August 2025 from 14,438 units in July 2025.
E-rickshaw sales also fell year-on-year compared to 18,781 units in August 2024.
E-cart sales grew strongly to 2,911 units in August 2025 from 2,047 units in July 2025.
E-cart sales also grew year-on-year compared to 2,060 units in August 2024.
Mahindra Last Mile Mobility and YC Electric led e-cart sales in August 2025, while YC Electric, Saera Electric, and Dilli Electric topped the e-rickshaw market.
Electric three-wheelers (E3Ws) play a big role in India’s EV market as they provide low-cost, eco-friendly, and convenient transport solutions.
E-rickshaws are mainly used for passenger movement.
E-carts are widely used for goods transportation and last-mile deliveries.
Both segments are becoming popular in cities and small towns due to their lower running cost and contribution to reducing pollution.
The e-rickshaw market showed a clear decline both month-on-month (M-o-M) and year-on-year (Y-o-Y).
YC Electric sold 2,992 units in August 2025, down from 3,122 units in July 2025 and 3,474 units in August 2024. Sales dropped 13.9% (Y-o-Y) and 4.2% (M-o-M).
Saera Electric registered 1,827 units in August 2025, compared to 1,878 units in July 2025 and 2,578 units in August 2024. Sales fell 29.1% (Y-o-Y) and 2.7% (M-o-M).
Dilli Electric reported 1,335 units, down from 1,413 units in July 2025 and 1,794 units in August 2024. Sales decreased 25.6% (Y-o-Y) and 5.5% (M-o-M).
Mini Metro EV sold 1,032 units, compared to 987 units in July 2025 and 1,253 units in August 2024. Sales declined 17.6% (Y-o-Y) but grew 4.6% (M-o-M).
Energy Electric achieved 900 units, compared to 987 units in July 2025 and 1,173 units in August 2024. Sales dropped 23.3% (Y-o-Y) and 8.8% (M-o-M).
Unlike e-rickshaws, the e-cart segment showed solid growth in August 2025, reflecting increasing demand for goods transport.
Mahindra Last Mile Mobility recorded a massive 480 units, up sharply from 59 units in July 2025 and 35 units in August 2024. This marks a 713.6% M-o-M growth.
YC Electric sold 429 units, down from 506 units in July 2025 but higher than 309 units in August 2024. Sales grew 38.8% (Y-o-Y) but dropped 15.2% (M-o-M).
Dilli Electric registered 335 units, slightly down from 360 units in July 2025 but above 320 units in August 2024. Sales rose 4.7% (Y-o-Y) and fell 7% (M-o-M).
J.S. Auto sold 293 units, a small dip from 307 units in July 2025 but much higher than 172 units in August 2024. Sales jumped 70.3% (Y-o-Y).

The August 2025 report highlights contrasting trends in India’s electric three-wheeler market. E-rickshaw sales have been slowing down, reflecting weaker demand in the passenger transport segment. In contrast, e-cart sales are rising, showing growing use in urban goods delivery and logistics.
This shift underlines a positive trend for the EV industry as electric carts support sustainable and cost-efficient last-mile deliveries, helping India move closer to its clean mobility goals.
