As the EV opportunity opens up worldwide, India’s taxi market comes to the fore—a USD 20.61 Billion market with a nearly 15% CAGR. As EVs kick in with better technology and improving economics, there’s a consumer to be served and profits to be made.
So, why does UBER India report a ride-hailing revenue of just INR 678 Crores ($82 Million), pocket change for UBER’s global revenues and as a percentage of India’s cab market revenue pool?
The short answer is that the value in India’s cab market will get tapped using a B2B model and not a B2C model. We see significant rapid value creation potential in India’s EV taxi market to create an extremely valuable and cash-generative mobility platform given the following favourable conditions:
High-quality liquid assets are available at a significant discount to Book Value.
The EV transition point provides a massive tailwind for cash flow generation and high-yielding assets from consumer sales and selling into the carbon credit trading market.
Massive fragmentation in the B2B taxi market in India creates a massive aggregation opportunity, with smaller providers needing more capacity to jump onto the EV bandwagon.
As India joins the world in the transition to a green economy, we see significant value-creation opportunities using a combination of growth, acquisitions and financial engineering to unlock substantial investment returns.
