The ubiquitous e-rickshaw has emerged as a popular option for short trip type movements in the Indian urban and semi-urban centres. Being environment friendly, these e-rickshaw vehicles are nowadays replacing manual rickshaws and can be maintained at very affordable prices. These electric three wheelers thus not only serve as transportation solution to the vast Indian population but also offer profitable livelihood for the operators. The e-rickshaws operate on robust rechargeable lead acid storage batteries - a segment where Exide Industries is the undisputed market leader.
