Electric Car Sales in India Grow 77% in 2025: Mahindra and MG Shine, Tata Still Leads
Electric car sales in India surged 77% in 2025, driven by rising demand and more model choices. Tata Motors stayed on top, while Mahindra and MG posted explosive growth.
Electric cars are quickly becoming more common on Indian roads. With more EV options available and charging infrastructure improving year by year, buyers are showing growing confidence in electric mobility.
According to the latest data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), electric car sales in India grew by 77.04% in 2025. Total sales reached 1,76,817 units, compared to 99,875 units in 2024. That means nearly 77,000 additional electric cars were sold in just one year.
Another important sign of progress is market share. Electric cars accounted for 4% of total car sales in 2025, up from 2.4% in 2024. While EVs still form a small part of the overall market, the pace of growth clearly shows strong momentum.

Tata Motors Remains No.1, But Competition Is Rising
Tata Motors continued to lead India’s electric car market in 2025. The company sold 70,004 EVs, growing by 13.28% compared to the previous year.
However, while Tata stayed on top, its growth was much slower than rivals like MG and Mahindra. This resulted in a drop in market share, showing that competition in the EV space is becoming more intense.
MG Motor Records Strong Growth Thanks to Windsor EV
JSW MG Motor emerged as one of the biggest gainers in 2025. The company sold 51,387 electric cars, more than double its 2024 numbers.
MG’s success was largely driven by the MG Windsor EV, which became India’s best-selling electric car in 2025. Competitive pricing, good range, and strong brand appeal helped MG attract a large number of buyers.
Mahindra Delivers One of the Biggest EV Growth Stories
Mahindra & Mahindra delivered an outstanding performance in 2025. The brand sold 33,513 electric cars, marking a massive 369.44% year-on-year growth.
Most of Mahindra’s EV sales came from the BE 6 and XEV 9e, deliveries of which started in March. The strong response shows growing trust in Mahindra’s new electric models.
Hyundai and Kia See High Growth but Low Volumes
Hyundai Motor India saw a sharp rise in EV sales after launching the Creta Electric, its first locally produced EV. Sales rose to 6,726 units, but volumes remain relatively low compared to market leaders.
Kia India also expanded its EV range with the Carens Clavis EV, along with imported models like the EV6 and EV9. Kia sold 2,730 electric cars, showing strong growth but limited overall demand.
Premium EV Brands Also Gain Ground
Luxury brands also benefited from the overall EV growth in India. BMW and Mercedes-Benz recorded healthy increases in electric car sales.
BYD continued to strengthen its presence, while Volvo saw a slight dip in sales.
Mixed Results for Smaller and New Brands
Citroen struggled in the EV space, as its only electric model, the e-C3, saw lower demand.
New entrants such as VinFast and Tesla had slow starts in India. Their performance is expected to improve as they expand product offerings and sales networks.
