EVs to Lead the Race for Festival Launches
Business Standard
|August 18, 2025
Aug-Nov window expected to see most rollouts
With festival season around the corner, carmakers are gearing up for new launches during the August-November window, mostly in the electric vehicle (EV) category.
Alongside e-Vitara, Tata Sierra EV, and VinFast SUVs, luxury carmakers will unveil the BMW iX 2025, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric. Mahindra's Vision S and SXT concepts are progressing toward production. The two-wheeler segment will see new scooters and premium electric motorcycles, though mass-market e-motorcycles remain at least a year away.
Nikhil Dhaka, vice-president at Primus Partners, said, "The August to November festive window could be the heaviest EV launch season India has ever seen. We're looking at mass-market SUVs, luxury EVs, and accessible scooters all hitting the market at the same time, a rare confluence that could energize both urban and semi-urban demand."
