Electric rickshaw batteries with capacity less than 101 Ah dominated the market during the historical period. The category is anticipated to continue leading the market in the coming years, due to the dominance of unorganized local players in the market, as most of these players manufacture low-cost electric rickshaws.

Based on end use, the Indian electric rickshaw battery market has been bifurcated into OEM and replacement. The market for replacement batteries is expected to witness faster growth, with a CAGR of above 14%, in terms of volume, during the forecast period. This is due to proliferation of electric rickshaws in the country and more vehicles undergoing battery replacement This category is also expected to continue dominating the market during the forecast period.
