India’s Electric Vehicle Market Reaches Exciting New High: More Than 2 Million New EVs on Roads This Year
For many years, petrol and diesel cars ruled the roads in India. But in 2025, electric vehicles (EVs) are changing the game. The total number of EVs registered in India has now crossed 2.02 million units this year alone. This number does not include hybrid cars. It is already more than the full 2024 total of 1.95 million. With one month still left in the year, this is a big win for clean transport.
A report in The Times of India says this is the first time EV registrations have gone past 2 million in one calendar year. People are buying more EVs because there are many models to pick from. Prices are getting better too. Government policies also give some support to buyers of green cars.
How Different Types of EVs Are Doing
Electric two-wheelers are the stars of the show. So far in 2025, 1.2 million units have been registered. This is already higher than the total 1.15 million sold in all of 2024. These bikes and scooters are popular for city rides.
Electric cars and SUVs come next. 156,455 units have been registered this year. That is 57 percent more than the 99,429 from last year. More families and young buyers are choosing these for longer trips.
Electric three-wheelers are steady. 690,000 units registered so far, almost the same as 2024’s 691,000. These are great for small deliveries and local transport.
Experts Say Demand Will Keep Growing
Even with some changes in government rules, people still want EVs. Poonam Upadhyay from Crisil Ratings told The Times of India, “We expect mid-teen growth in 2025. It is less than last year’s 27 percent jump, but still good. Two-wheelers will lead. Three-wheelers will grow with fleet buys. Four-wheelers will see new models.”
She added that big car companies are helping. They use their big dealer networks and offer bikes with longer range at good prices. This builds trust in EVs, even after policy shifts.
Charging is less of a worry now. Poonam Upadhyay said, “City buyers use home or office charging. It is no longer a big problem. More stations and better ranges are helping.”
Car Companies Are Ready for More EVs
Old carmakers that sold mostly petrol and diesel cars are now focusing on EVs. They are making new electric models, building batteries in India, and adding charging spots.
Maruti Suzuki launched the e-Vitara. They plan to send 50,000 to 100,000 units abroad each year.
Tata Motors leads the EV market. They are putting money into better batteries and more electric SUVs and small cars. Their factories are growing to meet the demand.
Hyundai is building many charging stations. They are also making more EV models in India to cut costs.
MG Motor is making more electric SUVs
They are working with local parts makers to lower prices.
BYD from China is growing in India. They want to sell in smaller cities too. Tesla, led by Elon Musk, and VinFast from Vietnam have also started selling here.
All these companies show that India’s EV market is ready to grow big. More choices and better support mean more people will switch to electric cars soon.
