The Rise of Electric Vehicles in India – What It Means for Auto Parts Resellers

India’s EV Revolution is No Longer Coming—It’s Here

India's electric vehicle (EV) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 44% from 2025 to 2030, driven by government incentives, environmental awareness, and rising fuel costs. With EV sales crossing 1.5 million units in 2024, it’s no longer a niche—it’s the future of Indian mobility.

But what does this shift mean for auto parts resellers, workshops, and distributors? A lot.

What Changes for Auto Parts Sellers in the EV Era?

Electric vehicles run on entirely different mechanics, which directly impacts the demand for traditional auto parts.

⛔ Parts That Will See Decline:

• Engine components (timing belts, pistons, spark plugs)

• Gearboxes and clutches

• Fuel filters, oil filters

• Radiators and exhaust systems
  
  

✅ Parts That Will See Growth or Continue Demand:

• Headlamps & tail lights

• Windscreen wipers

• Suspension, tyres, and brakes

• Cabin air filters

• Charging accessories and cooling fans

• BMS (Battery Management System) components
  
  

Prootto's focus on universal parts like headlamps, indicators, and wiper blades ensures relevance in both ICE and EV segments.

What Resellers Should Do Right Now

1. Stock Universal Components

Focus on fast-moving parts like:

• Wiper blades (frameless/hybrid with U-hook)

• Headlamp bulbs and housing

• Indicators, relays, and switches

• Cabin filters and brake pads
  
  

EVs may look different under the hood, but they still use wipers, lights, brakes, and HVAC filters—exactly what Prootto specializes in.

2. Start Cataloguing EV-Compatible Parts

• Build an EV product line on your marketplace or reseller website

• Use compatibility tags like “Tiago EV-compatible”, “Nexon EV wipers” etc.

• Collaborate with EV service centers and local garages
  
  

3. Train Your Sales & Support Teams

EV customers often have different questions—train your staff on:

• EV-specific fitments

• How to explain EV-compatible components

• How your products still apply in a battery-run platform
  
  

4. Embrace Digital Discovery

EV buyers are typically younger and more digitally active. Focus on:

• SEO blog content (like this)

• Google Shopping & product listings

• WhatsApp for B2B orders

• LinkedIn and Insta for awareness
