India’s electric vehicle (EV) sector is booming, with electric two-wheelers (e2w) and electric three-wheelers (e3w) at the helm of the sector’s significant growth. With more affordable EVs narrowing the price gap between electric and traditional vehicles, and with a growing charging infrastructure, India is poised to witness rapid EV expansion in the times to come.
In June 2025, India’s EV market saw approximately 1.8 lakh registrations. While this was almost flat compared to the previous month of May, which recorded nearly 1.81 lakh registrations, it represented a growth of over 28 percent compared to June 2024, when the country registered 1.4 lakh EVs for the month.
The e2w and e3w segments remained the primary growth drivers for India’s EV sector, while low-speed three-wheelers and e-carts saw a decline.

Key Trends and Drivers
Persistently high petrol and diesel prices continue to make EVs financially attractive, especially for high-mileage e2w and e3w users. Urban air quality and noise pollution concerns are also pushing municipal fleets and ride-hailing services towards electrification.
One of the main drivers of this shift is the cost factor. Falling battery prices and improved local supply chains are gradually narrowing the price gap with ICE vehicles. Although the charging infrastructure remains uneven, networks of fast chargers, particularly in cities, are expanding. OEMs are also investing in R&D and service networks to bolster consumer confidence.

Tata Motors retained its position as the leading electric four-wheeler manufacturer, recording sales of approximately 13,100 units. It was followed by MG Motor with around 11,500 units, Mahindra & Mahindra with about 8,350 units, Hyundai with roughly 1,880 units, and BYD India with approximately 1,300 units..
EV Two-Wheelers - June
The June data underscore that legacy two-wheeler manufacturers still sell mostly ICE models, whereas dedicated EV brands have captured market share. Electric two-wheelers accounted for about 7.3 percent of all two-wheelers in June, up from less than 6.1 percent in May.
Electric two-wheelers dominated with over 105,000 units sold in June, an increase from approximately 100,900 e2w registrations in May.
Hero MotoCorp, India’s largest scooter and motorcycle manufacturer, sold 393,832 two-wheelers in June, but only 7,668 units—less than 2 percent—were electric. In comparison, pure-EV firms reported fully electric volumes.

Ola Electric sold roughly 20,200 e-scooters, while Ather Energy registered 14,500 EV sales. Importantly, major OEMs are expanding their EV portfolios as well. TVS Motor Company sold about 25,300 electric scooters, mostly its iQube models. Similarly, Bajaj Auto, the manufacturer of the Chetak EV, achieved significant sales, reaching around 23,000 units. Together, these four—TVS, Bajaj, Ola, and Ather—accounted for the vast majority of India’s e2w market in June.
The TVS Motor iQube EV contributed close to 24 percent of the e2w market share in June 2025. Bajaj Auto followed with a 21.83 percent share. Ola Electric and Ather Energy together constituted one-third of the total market share for the month, registering 19.16 percent and 13.77 percent, respectively. Hero MotoCorp rounded out the top five with 7,664 units, commanding a 7.27 percent share, as the market witnessed increased competition and diversification among OEMs.
EV-only Brands Dominate Indian EV Scene
The figures show a clear trend: EV-only brands like Ola and Ather, along with early movers like TVS and Bajaj, are leading the electric two-wheeler market. Hero and other legacy players, including Honda, Suzuki, Royal Enfield, and Yamaha, remain largely ICE-focused.
On a year-on-year basis, e2w sales have surged from June 2024, when the country registered over 79,500 units, to 105,355 units in June 2025—an increase of about 32 percent. This growth reflects new model launches and increasing rider acceptance, partly offsetting the impact of the withdrawal of some federal subsidies.

EV Three-Wheelers - June
In June 2025, India’s electric three-wheeler market witnessed a slight dip in total registrations compared to May. Sales declined by approximately 5,500 units, primarily due to lower demand in certain sub-segments. Despite this drop, the share of passenger electric three-wheelers remained stable, accounting for nearly one-third of the overall three-wheeler market, similar to the previous month’s share.
The passenger three-wheeler (L5 auto) category saw a modest increase, with registrations rising to 16,333 units in June, up from around 15,000 units in May. In contrast, the cargo three-wheeler (L5) segment experienced a decline, with sales slipping to roughly 2,000 units from over 2,424 in the previous month. As a result of these mixed trends, the overall share of electric three-wheelers within the total three-wheeler market, including both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, dipped slightly by a little over three percent.
In the cargo three-wheeler space, electrification continues to lag behind the passenger segment. Bajaj Auto once again led the overall volumes, while Mahindra LMM maintained the highest electric penetration in the cargo segment, with 58 percent of its goods rickshaw sales being electric.
Legacy manufacturers such as Atul Auto, Piaggio Vehicles, and MLR Auto continue to trail in this space, with each recording electric shares under seven percent. This limited uptake contributed to an overall decline in EV penetration within the L5 cargo segment.

At the forefront of three-wheeler electrification, Mahindra & Mahindra’s Last Mile Mobility (LMM) and Bajaj Auto are leading the charge with their e3w offerings.
In June 2025, Bajaj topped e3w sales with approximately 6,400 new registrations. Meanwhile, Mahindra LMM maintained its dominant electric presence with around 7,300 electric three-wheelers sold.
Other notable players in this segment included Piaggio Vehicles (approximately 1,030 units) and TVS Motor (around 1,650 units), both with a notable presence.
EV Four-Wheelers - June
The electric car category saw an impressive year-on-year growth of over 83 percent, reflecting increasing consumer interest in personal electric cars (including Light Goods, Motor, and Passenger categories).
From nearly 7,700 EV cars registered in June 2024, the number increased to about 14,100 in June 2025, raising the share of EVs in newly sold cars (across all Light Vehicle categories) from less than 2 percent in the previous year to over 3.21 percent last month.

In June 2025, four-wheeler sales were led by Maruti Suzuki, with over 1.2 lakh units sold, but the company continued to have no EV presence. By volume, Tata Motors led the electric segment, recording the highest EV car sales of approximately 5,000 units. Mahindra Electric (around 3,250 units) and JSW MG Motor (about 4,700 units) followed. Hyundai (approximately 500 units) and Kia (40 units) had limited EV penetration, while Toyota, Skoda, Honda, and Renault remained fully ICE-dependent.
Implications for India’s EV Goals
India has set a 30 percent EV penetration target by 2030 for its auto fleet. While June’s data show clear momentum, with record sales in the 2W and 3W segments and double-digit EV market shares in some categories, the country is still well below its long-term goals.
According to an S&P Global report from March this year, the EV penetration rate in India has seen modest growth of approximately 200 basis points annually from FY 2021 to FY 2024. To meet the 2030 target, this rate must nearly double to 380 basis points per year.
However, several state EV policies are nearing expiration, which threatens sustained investor confidence. Moreover, the lack of a cohesive, long-term strategy has further weakened momentum, leaving India far from its envisioned EV revolution.
The June 2025 trends, with continued strong EV growth driven by a handful of innovators, are encouraging signs. If this growth path is accelerated, India’s broader EV targets will become increasingly attainable. For this to happen, more favourable policies, their timely implementation, and greater participation from legacy automakers in the EV space will be crucial.
