For the first time ever, electric car (e-4W) sales have crossed the 1 lakh mark in record time. According to the latest industry data, 119,332 electric cars were registered between April and October 2025 , signalling a massive leap in the country’s transition towards clean mobility.What makes this milestone even more significant is that the sales recorded in just seven months of FY 2025-26 have already overtaken the 117,072 units sold during the entire previous fiscal year. This exceptional performance underscores how India’s EV adoption is no longer a niche movement but a mainstream automotive transformation.Over 100% YoY Growth: Electric Car Market Doubles in SizeThe Indian EV market’s growth trajectory continues to defy expectations. The 119,332 electric cars sold in the first seven months represent a 105.37% year-on-year (YoY) growth over the same period in FY 2024-25, when 58,104 units were sold.This surge has propelled electric cars to account for 4.6% of all passenger vehicle sales in the country this fiscal year—more than doubling the 2.1% market share recorded during the same period last year. The numbers reflect growing consumer trust, improving EV infrastructure, and an expanding lineup of competitive models across price segments.Analysts attribute this surge to falling battery costs, enhanced range performance, and government initiatives such as FAME-II and state-level incentives that have made EVs increasingly accessible to Indian buyers.Tata Motors, JSW MG Motor, and Mahindra Lead India’s Electric Car MarketThe electric car market in India remains consolidated around three dominant players— Tata Motors , JSW MG Motor , and Mahindra . Together, these brands account for nearly 88% of all electric car sales in the country .Tata Motors continues its stronghold with a 37.7% market share , driven by popular models like the Nexon EV, Tiago EV, and Punch EV.JSW MG Motor follows closely with a 28.7% share , leveraging models such as the MG ZS EV and Comet EV.Mahindra holds a solid 21.5% share, bolstered by growing demand for the XUV400 and upcoming Born Electric series.This dominance highlights the competitive edge of established automakers that have invested early in EV technology, localized manufacturing, and extensive charging networks.Top States Powering India’s EV AdoptionThe rapid adoption of electric cars is being led by a handful of proactive states. Maharashtra tops the list with the highest number of EV registrations, followed by Karnataka and Kerala , both of which have seen strong policy support and infrastructure development.While these states drive the bulk of sales, others like Telangana and Delhi boast some of the highest EV penetration rates in the country. Delhi’s aggressive EV policy and Telangana’s industry-friendly approach are encouraging more consumers to switch to electric mobility.A Turning Point for India’s Electric Mobility FutureCrossing the 1 lakh mark within seven months marks a defining moment for India’s electric car industry. It reflects not just growing sales figures but a broader cultural and economic transition towards sustainable transportation.With the combined push from automakers, government policies, and environmentally conscious consumers, India’s EV revolution is clearly shifting gears. As the fiscal year progresses, experts predict the total electric car sales could surpass 200,000 units by March 2026 , setting new records and solidifying India’s position as one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the world.
