Petrol above ₹100 redirects Indian auto buyers toward EVs, hybrids and fuel-sippers
With Delhi petrol at ₹102.12 and Mumbai at ₹111 after an ₹8 cumulative hike, dealers across Toyota, Honda, Mahindra, Bajaj and Ather networks report rising EV and hybrid inquiries. Electric scooter registrations hit 1.48 lakh in April, up 61% YoY, with 2 million e-2W units expected this year.
Petrol crossing ₹100/litre in Delhi is shifting Indian auto buyer behaviour toward EVs, hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles, with dealers across Toyota, Honda, Mahindra, Bajaj and Ather networks reporting rising EV inquiries and accelerated electric two-wheeler adoption.
Why this matters
FADA's dealer network is signaling a structural shift in showroom demand as fuel costs reset purchase intent across ICE, hybrid and EV segments, reinforcing the e-2W momentum already visible in April registrations.
