|February 2026
2025 was another year in which we saw many legacy players shifting their EV goals. Even the goal posts are shifting.
There is still confusion at a global level, driven by geopolitical changes and China's stronghold over the EV and battery ecosystem. However, the Indian electric vehicle market showed clear signs of consolidation and maturity. Sales touched new highs across every EV category.
Electric two-wheelers grew by 11.36%, three-wheelers by 15.39%, electric commercial vehicles by 54.2%, and the most talked-about segment, which kept us busy throughout the year, electric passenger vehicles grew by 77%. Yes, the base is low in some cases, but the numbers are solid and clearly indicate that India’s electrification journey is reaching an important milestone. No wonder we spent weeks attending electric vehicle launches or testing them. There was a 360-degree action last year.
