India is rapidly establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing markets for Electric Two-Wheelers (E2Ws). The two-wheeler segment dominates the Indian automobile industry, accounting for over 70% of all registered vehicles.

The adoption of Electric Two-Wheelers (E2Ws) in India has experienced remarkable growth. Between FY 2021 and FY 2022, E2W penetration increased over six fold, followed by a two-fold rise from FY 2022 to FY 2023, reaching approximately 4.5% of total two-wheeler registrations as recorded on the Vahan Dashboard (MoRTH) in FY 2023.

With E2W penetration in India crossing 5% and a strong foundation set by advancements in technology, manufacturing, and policy incentives, the country is poised for rapid growth in E2W adoption over the next five years, mirroring the explosive growth seen in other mature EV markets.

Raft Motors Ltd manufactures a comprehensive range of electric two-wheelers. Committed to addressing the urgent need for electric mobility solutions in India, Raft Motors focuses on delivering user friendly, technologically advanced and affordable electric two wheelers.

Its mission extends beyond product excellence, aiming to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future for the nation and also develop further electric based mobility solutions.

  • Dependence on Timely and Scalable Development of New EV Models

The company’s growth depends on its ability to successfully develop, introduce, manufacture, market and deliver new variants of EV scooters, EV motorcycles, etc., in the medium-to-long term. This development of new EVs requires significant capital expenditure, including investments in engineers and other human capital, optimisation of its supply chain, R&D costs and other intangibles, which may result in cost overruns, particularly given that they have no prior experience manufacturing such EVs.

  • Reliance on Few Customers for Revenues

The company is dependent upon its relationship with its channel partners and dealers. As part of its business model, the company has institutional sales through channel partners as well as direct sale to individuals through its distributor/dealer network. The company’s business operations are highly dependent on sales through channel partners. Its marketing team gets its products tested and approved with various corporates which are in the last mile delivery businesses.

In case of loss of any of its channel partners through whom it caters to last mile delivery businesses and/or distributor/dealer may adversely affect its sales and consequently on its business and results of operations.

  • Dependence on Chinese Imports

The company imports a part of the CKD Materials from China from various suppliers, therefore are dependent upon smooth trade relations between India and China. In view of the ongoing clashes between both the countries, if any of the countries decide to restrict or all together halt the trade, its products would be adversely impacted.

Further, in the event any policy is adopted which increases the import duty on the goods purchased from China, its raw materials may become costlier and less economic for us.
