India’s electric car market has continued to gain strong momentum through April–October 2025, driven by supportive policies, improving charging infrastructure, falling battery costs and the arrival of new EVs offering longer range and better technology. Tata Motors led the market, followed by MG Motor, Mahindra, Hyundai and BYD. Kia also showed impressive growth, while BMW and Mercedes dominated the luxury EV space.
Electric Car Sales: April–October 2025
Tata Motors – Still the Market Leader
Tata Motors maintained a commanding lead with a 38.56% market share, thanks to the widest EV lineup in India. Monthly sales grew consistently—from 4,436 units in April to 7,239 units in October 2025. Models like the Punch EV, Nexon EV, Curvv EV, Tiago EV, Tigor EV and the newly added Sierra and Harrier EVs contributed to this upward curve.

MG Motor held 28.39% share, backed by a diverse EV portfolio that ranges from the Comet EV to the premium ZS EV, Windsor EV, M9 EV and Cyberster.
