BYD bursts into top 5 of India's EV firms
Mint Mumbai
|December 02, 2025
In the back of an almost 80% surge in sales this year so far, Chinese carmaker BYD has jumped to the fifth spot in India's electric vehicle (EV) pecking order and is revving for more.
Between 1 January and 30 November, BYD registered 5,121 vehicles, compared to 2,870 units in all of 2024, according to the latest data from Vahan portal. In the same period, India's electric fourwheeler industry grew 60% with 160,000 units in sales.
Two factors helped. First, BYD is expanding its India footprint--between 2023 and 2025, outlets have nearly doubled to 47. It opened new stores in Haryana in November. Second, import limits have eased on some of its models as they have been homologated, according to its largest local dealer, Landmark Cars, letting it bring in more cars.
