In India, electric three-wheelers—also referred to as e-rickshaws—have become a popular and environmentally responsible form of public transportation. Battery-powered electric motors enable these cars to run and cut down on fuel-related expenses. Passenger carriers and load carriers make up the two main categories of electric three-wheelers. These electric cars' low carbon emissions, affordability, noiseless ride, and small size all contribute to their high adoption rate. The Indian government's increasing number of efforts and awareness campaigns to lower greenhouse gas emissions from fuel-powered cars are also driving the market's expansion. Furthermore, the government has implemented several financial help programs and incentives for the acquisition of electric three-wheeler vehicles, thus expanding the market. 

The surge in fossil fuel prices in India is driving a shift towards electric three-wheelers due to their lower operating costs compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Despite the higher initial purchase cost of electric vehicles, consumers are drawn to their economic advantage amidst rising gasoline and diesel prices. However, the huge power pack and limited range of travel worry the manufacturers of three-wheeled vehicles. An electric three-wheeler can travel 125–130 km on a completely charged battery, while a conventional vehicle can cover 200–220 km on a full tank of gas. Furthermore impeding the broad adoption of clean transportation is the growing problem of inadequate infrastructure for charging electric vehicles, which leaves environmentally aware drivers without practical choices. 

There was concern in the market due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Governments declared a complete lockdown and a temporary closure of the industry, which harmed the global production and sales of electric three-wheelers. Moreover, the pandemic has affected the sources of income for different electric three-wheeler drivers, particularly in the passenger sector, which has resulted in a significant rise in the number of loan defaulters. This set off a subsequent series of events, with the sales of electric three-wheelers being further damaged by a contraction in financing facilities.
