In general, the use of electric wheelchairs in India is increasing as people become more aware of their benefits and as the government and private organizations work to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. However, there are still many barriers to overcome, such as limited infrastructure, inadequate public transportation, and social stigma around disability.
That being said, electric wheelchairs can greatly improve the mobility and independence of individuals with disabilities, allowing them to access education, employment, healthcare, and other important services. As more people in India and around the world recognize the importance of accessibility and inclusion, the demand for electric wheelchairs and other mobility aids is likely to continue to grow.

Drawbacks of using an electric wheelchair
Cost: Electric wheelchairs can be expensive, and they may not be covered by insurance or government programs. This can make them unaffordable for some people who need them.
Maintenance: Electric wheelchairs require regular maintenance to ensure they are functioning properly. This includes checking the batteries, tires, brakes, and other components. Maintenance can be time-consuming and costly.
Limited terrain: Some electric wheelchairs may not be suitable for rough terrain, such as gravel or dirt paths, and may have difficulty navigating hills or steep inclines.
Limited portability: While some electric wheelchairs are foldable and portable, they may still be too heavy or bulky for some individuals to transport easily. This can make it difficult to use a wheelchair outside of the home or in public transportation.
Dependence on batteries: Electric wheelchairs rely on batteries for power, and if the batteries run out of charge, the wheelchair will not function until they are recharged. This can be inconvenient and may limit the user’s mobility.
